January 12: This Week in Religious Education

Religious-Education-Contemporary_SMALLThis weekend the altar is covered with a unique quilt that was created by the Religious Education Grade 2 students in celebration of their First Reconciliation. Each child created a personal square of artwork, and the pieces were woven together to produce this truly meaningful expression of their sacramental experience.

Faith in Action
Many, many thanks to the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students who so generously donated warm hats for the men at the St. Francis House day shelter in Boston. We collected well over 100 hats. During the Friends for Good segment of the evening, students wrote personal notes wishing the men good health in the coming cold months and attached them to the hats.
