Mission Carnival Details
As part of festivities we will be having a Mission Carnival hosted by the Student Council in the gymnasium from 11:30 am–2:30 pm. All are welcome to attend! Our proceeds this year will go to support the people in the Ukraine. The money we collect will help missionaries there to provide food, clothing, blankets, medical supplies and other basic needs for our brothers and sisters who are in need because of the war.
Monsignor Harrington, who visited our school in December, was in the Ukraine last April during Holy Week. The short video clip he made gives us brief a view of the loss of life and devastation the country has sustained. The Student Council will begin collecting money on March 13-20. Students may bring the money and give it to the classroom teacher. Our goal this year will be to collect $5,000 dollars! During this Season of Lent let us open our hearts to prayers, fasting and almsgiving to those most in hardship and want.
