Project Exodus
Welcoming New Americans
Over the last four years, the Religious Education families have welcomed eight households of refugees and have helped them to begin their new life as Americans. The families have been from diverse places - Iraq, Myanmar, Congo - and each family endured war and dislocation, as well as time in refugee camps.
We help them get started by giving them the necessary household items so that they can begin the work of becoming Americans. On March 21, we welcomed a family from Syria. Our families moved them into their new apartment, got it ready with everything put away and the beds made, and greeted them when they arrived.

We Had a Great Fish Fry!
Thanks to the organizers, cooks and servers
Our first Fish Fry on March 15 was a great success. Thanks to all who helped organize, plan, sell ads, cook, serve, run games and generally help with the details.
It was a financial success as well. Thanks to all who supported it!

Living the Beatitudes
Our Theme for the 2018-19 year
We gave out tags on a carabiner clip to every student in order to help each one remember to live out the Beatitudes on a daily basis.
Follow these suggestions for prayer and action to help in becoming a disciple of the Lord by living the Beatitudes.

Fun and Engaging Things Happen
Each year, we have interesting classroom units, as well as special events. For example, we have had a visit from a Holocaust survivor, a celebration of the Feast of St. Francis, an All Saints mass together, and a visit from the good bishop, St. Nicholas. We welcomed the Kitenge family and set up their new home in America and we raised money for Fields of Life in East Africa. Then, we ended up the year with a May Crowning and closing treat.
