The Maria SS Dell Assunta Society celebrated its 93rd anniversary on Aug. 15 during the Mass of the Assumption at St. Brigid's Church in Westbury.

This year, the society initiated a "Road to Success" program at St. Brigid's/Our Lady of Hope School for the purpose of helping students in the areas of reading and writing skills. The program will take place at the school and will be taught by certified teachers in small group settings.

During the Mass, Catherine Kilfoyle, 2nd vice president of the Society, presented a $2,000 check to Paul Clagnaz, principal of St. Brigid's/Our Lady of Hope School. The funds will go toward starting the program later this month.
