In addition to our younger students showing their thankfulness, St. Bernard school, religious education students, and parish, will be working together on two projects over the next few weeks.
The first project is the Marine Corps "Toys for Tots" program. New toys can be donated for distribution to the less fortunate children in our community over the next weeks. Monday, November 24th to Monday, December 15th. In the back of church or in the school office.
The second project we will be working on together is being coordinated by Megan Heinen, a 2002 graduate of St. Bernard. Megan is currently a sophomore in the College of Nursing at Marquette. She has been selected to go on a medical=based service trip to Honduras through "Global Medical Brigades". She will be gone with her brigade to various communities setting up one-day clinics and offereing medicines and basic, yet essential medical aid. The school will have a special collection during the school mass on December 2nd.
The children and adults at St. Bernard Parish are slowing down and reflecting on the many blessings we have. St. Bernard is traditionally a very caring and sharing community. These are just a few more ways of trying to live it.
