Preschool - 6th Grade
​
We have 15 children receiving their First Holy Communion this year. Would you like to sponsor a Bible for one of these children? Each Bible has a leather cover and has the child's name engraved on it. It is a lifelong treasure to them and we are so thankful for all those who support this fundraiser. If you would like to donate a Bible or do a partial donation, the cost is $50 and a check can be mailed to the office with “Bible” in the memo.
