Mommy & Me Cooking Class and Spirit of ’76 Birthday Party In celebration of America's 250th birthday, the St. Agnes Guild of the Notre Dame Council of Catholic Women hosted a Mommy & Me Cooking Class followed by a Spirit of ’76 Birthday Party on Saturday, July 11, at Notre Dame Church in Greeneville, Tennessee. Under the guidance of the parish's talented cake baker, children and their mothers learned how to make, frost, and decorate cupcakes. The beautifully decorated treats were then served during the afternoon birthday celebration honoring parishioners who were 76 years young and older. Each honoree received a light-up keepsake glass to commemorate the occasion. The celebration concluded with everyone singing "Happy Birthday," followed by festive party poppers that filled the room with colorful streamers, creating a joyful and patriotic ending to a memorable day of fellowship and fun.
