School Lenten Giving Project
- “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10
- This year’s Lenten Project is a simple and creative way for St. Christopher students to develop “a clean heart…and…a new and right spirit” while working on a “clean” project.
- Parishioners Dan and Lea Craine are laundromat owners and assured us their guests will be moved and brightened by our project.
- We will make “Clean Kits” and the Craines will distribute them in their laundromats.
- Students should make their kits at home and then bring the completed kits to school.
- Please make as many or as few kits as you like.
- The kits should be made in Ziploc baggies and should contain:
- Quarters
- Soap Pods
- Dryer Sheets
- A sweet treat to eat while waiting on laundry
- A homemade blessing card (notes of encouragement and joyful thoughts or pictures drawn and colored)
- Students can drop off their kits in the laundry basket located in the school lobby.
- The deadline is April 14th.
St. Patrick, pray for us!
