Doves Hatch in Courtyard at Sacred Heart

We have two new students at Sacred Heart this week! Nesting over a light standard, two baby doves recently hatched in our courtyard! These photos show the babies with their mother looking over them having just been fed one of them flaps its wings but is not ready to leave the nest yet. What shall we name them?

Here is a suggestion from one of our parents, Denise MacDonnell - "Doves are symbols of peace, so we could name them Paz (Spanish for peace, in honour of our exchange students), and Sìth, which is Scottish Gaelic for peace (to honour Nova Scotia, and also a decent Star Wars reference). Their mama could be Sophie, for obvious reasons."
