Sponsor Friends
St. Joseph
School has made a commitment the last five years to sponsor two
individuals through Christian Foundation for Children and Aging. This
year we continue to be committed to this project. We sponsor
Riviera, who is in 9th grade in Columbia. He enjoys soccer and learning
new things. We also sponsor Maria, who is a 66 year old woman in the
Philippines. She enjoys her family and gardening. Each month we promise
to send $40 total to sponsor both of our friends. We do this through
our monthly collection on the 1st Friday of each month. As a sacrifice
we do not offer snack on 1st Friday, the money can then be given to
help our sponsor friends. It's amazing what your child 's 50 cents can
do for our friends each month.
The money sent to Ruvier and Maria ensures them the
following things: clean water, safe food to eat, a roof over their
heads, access to a free medical and dental clinic, educational classes,
school supplies, healthy snacks, clothing, the opportunity to continue
their religious education, a birthday gift and Christmas present from
St. Joseph School Community and much, much more. We are providing them
with hope and a better way to build a future for their families and
themselves. What a great gift to give!
Remember that whatever we do for the least of our brothers, we do for
Jesus!
