On March 16th, Our Lady of Fatima 6th grader, Philomene Kirk continued her Elks Hoop Shoot journey in Valdosta, Georgia. She competed in the southeast regional competition shooting a humble 17/25 free-throws to advance to nationals! On Saturday, April 20th, in Chicago, IL, she will represent not only the Southeast Region 12, 10-11yr old division, but also the state of Mississippi, Our Lady of Fatima Elementary School, and the Biloxi Elks lodge #606. Thank you to Elks Lodge #606 and Mr. Rocky Sentell for providing this opportunity. Please Pray for Philomene and her family as they travel to Chicago on April 20th.
