Visitors, both young and ‘young at heart’, enjoyed a nice afternoon with some delicious ice cream and good company.

The kids and adults all enjoyed the ice cream as they visited and found out details about the new school year at St. Joachim in Old Mines.

Across the State, ice cream socials were going on during the day as Missourians jointly celebrated the ‘sweet treat’ during the warm Summer day.
