Applying the Lesson on the Virtue of Charity

The CLE (Christian Living Experience or Religion) class of the 4th year organized an outreach activity in line with their lesson on the virtue of Charity. The class was divided into groups; each group had to raise funds; and the money each group raised would benefit the less-fortunate families in the community. Each group sold different snack food and drinks during recess, lunch and dismissal time for two weeks. Proceeds from the selling were used to buy rice and groceries for the families who were chosen as beneficiaries. On September 10, 2009, not only were the invited families happy and felt blessed, the Seniors themselves felt blessed and happy! The Franciscan and Christian spirit was lived: It is in giving that we receive!
