Many Parts, One Body
“Many parts, one body” is the theme for the 2008/09 school year as students and staff of St. Anne School acknowledge Pope Benedict XVI’s declaration of the “Year of St. Paul”. Each month students will focus on one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit* developing prayers, artwork and projects to promote the flowering of that gift.
Many of these gifts manifested themselves in last year’s service projects. It is a long and inspiring list ranging from the school-wide project to (successfully) raise $10,000 for the Yoghoi Primary School in Tanzania to an individual student’s efforts to collect used soccer equipment for an orphanage in Ghana.
There will be more information as this year’s service projects take shape. As a certainty, classes will continue to “adopt” homebound parishioners, bake cookies for the Family & Adult Service Center and raise money to support Licis, their Goddaughter in Honduras.
(*In case you forgot: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self control and faithfulness)
