Friends for Good Update: Congratulations to the
Religious Education students in grades 7-9 who donated
$421 for the Parish Lenten gift to the Central African
Republic. Under the guidance of Evan Dew, grade 10,
students created duct tape wallets to be used both as a
reminder of the endeavor and a means to collect their
personal donations. Thank you for your tremendous
generosity!
