SAINT OF THE WEEK

LENTEN ALMSGIVING

Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving! Each year as a JPII community we take on an almsgiving project. This year we are collecting change for the First Choice Pregnancy Resource Center of Pamlico County. This center provides help to mothers who have crisis pregnancies. They provide medical support as well as supplies to aid them throughout their baby's first years. These volunteers ensure that no mother will be alone when they are worried about pregnancy.

To participate in this project students are invited to collect pocket change or cash and bring it in to deposit in their pod's jar or baby bottle. Bring in your change by March 25 for it to be counted! The pod to collect the most money will be rewarded with a field trip to the movies!

All the money collected by the pods will go directly to the First Choice Pregnancy Resource Center of Pamlico County. These donations will help the center buy an ultrasound machine.
