Following Mass and a tour of classrooms, grandparents of St. Kevin School students played rounds of miniature golf – there were lots of holes in one. The annual grandparents’ day was also, as Father Robert Marciano observed, an occasion to celebrate the “grandfather of the school,” Father Frank O’Hara, and his 90th birthday. Following his ordination, Father O’Hara served as pastor of St. Rita Church in Oakland Beach in 1959. He later taught at Our Lady of Providence Seminary on Warwick Neck, coming to St. Kevin as pastor in 1994. Fr. Marciano, who now serves as St. Kevin pastor, credits Fr. O’Hara with saving the school that was on the verge of closing due to declining enrollment. Today the school has an enrollment of 260, an increase of 30 students from the last academic year.
