PC Moment: Testimonials by gala chairs Kevin Cokinos and Chris Kolkhorst, both parents of Parish School students, shed light on the miraculous work the school achieves for students with learning disabilities. Both praised the school for making a remarkable difference in the lives of their children. The fellows shared chair duties with their wives, Adonia and Ann Marie, respectively.
