The 6^th annual FCA “Run for the Son” was held recently at St. Charles Catholic High School .  Near perfect weather conditions made for a beautiful day as over 160 runners and walkers of all ages participated in the event. This year’s race, then largest of its kind in ST. John Parish, was dedicated to SCC student George Loupe.
