“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in be-tween the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale dur-ing the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.” ― L.R. Knost

As we approach Catholic School’s Week (CSW), we will be collecting items for the St. Vincent Hospitality House to help them stock their house with some basic needs. The Hospitality House is a 20 bedroom house and provides a home-away-from-home to families with patients who are receiving care at St. Vincent Hospital. As a type of retreat, the facility is designed to convey a sense of peace and rest, a place for emotional and spiritual refreshment, and a place where a family can just be a family. Below is a list of items per grade level that we will be collecting. This great service project for our student body to participate in during CSW, will show that we are a “Community of Service.” Homerooms will be collecting items and will take donations now through Friday, January 31. Thank you for your generosity!
