Water.org Service Project
Grades 1-8
Water.org is an organization that envisions the day when everyone in the world can take a safe drink of water. Their goal is to draw attention to the world's number one health problem, unsafe and inadequate water supplies, and to raise funds to help fight this immense problem, one community at a time. Visit the Water.org website for more information.
With our annual service project we would like to promote our Catholic Social Teachings and show the children that it doesn't matter how small or young you are, God can use you to help make a difference. Money raised between January 15 and February 14 can be turned into your child's catechist.
Thank you to the Youth Faith Formation classes who have already turned in their donations. Watch our webpage for the grand total donated. Together the kids in the St. Raphael Youth Faith Formation program are making a difference. You are awesome!
