Saint Anthony of Padua Easter Meals
Saint James School has a long relationship with Saint Anthony of Padua Church. We are always happy to support the many great works that they do to help the community. This year, our Student Council held a hot chocolate sale and donated all of the proceeds to Saint Anthony’s to purchase items for their Easter Meal project. The parishioners of Saint Anthony’s, along with many volunteers, provide complete Easter dinners for members of our community who are homebound or who struggle to make ends meet. Families with children also get Easter baskets for each child.
Some of our students wanted to do more than just raise funds, however. They wanted to put their faith into action. On the Saturday morning before Easter, Kristen, Juliana, Akshaya and Brittany joined many volunteers in assembling and packing 375 meals for residents in our community. These young women truly live the Gospel message and made Easter much happier for families that need help.
