Kids Against Hunger

Faith Formation classes, as are regularly held, are done for the year. We have two class times left before the year is officially over. Today, we will have a work day at our local armory. Next week will be the closing celebrations. In between, we will celebrate the First Eucharist for 69 young people in our parish.

During Lent, the children in both the Faith Formation and the Catholic School programs raised money to package food for underprivileged families. It is part of our mission and has been for the past several years. The expectation for each of the family formation families will be an hour of service in set up, packaging, or clean up. This is an opportunity to put our talk into action.

I look forward to spending the time with the boys today, working together on packaging meals.

  1. How did it go tonight? When were they done packaging meals?

  2. It seemed to be going very well while I was there. Carter and I went up early to get our hour in. Dave and Christian came when Christian was done with golf practice. Dave said they were done about 6:30 because that is when they had boxed up what had been paid for through the fund raising.

    It was a different set up this year, but it seems to be more efficient in some ways. Everything from packaging to boxing was done at the same station, rather than the sealing and boxing happening at another station. As long as the sealer could keep up, it worked really well.
