We are now in the season of Advent, a time when we reflect on the greatest gift of love God gave to us, His Son, Jesus. Today, we are being asked to give a great give of love, too, but the gift is to the family of one of our students.
Tuesday night, December 4, 2007, the home of one of our students burned to the ground. The family lost everything in the fire. Food, furniture, clothing--everything was destroyed. This family is part of the Bishop Conaty-Our Lady of Loretto High School Community, and it is up to all of us to respond generously to their needs.
We are asking for donations of clothing for a teenage girls 15 years, a 12 year old boy, a 7 year old, and their mother. We are also seeking donations of food, household items, and money to help them rebuild their lives and start anew. Please open your hearts and be generous.
Donations may be brought to the main office. Make checks payable to Bishop Conaty-Loretto and indicate memo line "family in need." For further information, contact Mrs. Lopez in the main office at (323) 737-0012.
Thank you in advance for your generous gifts toward this family in need. May you and your family receive God's blessings.
