Making an Impact
My favorite part was seeing how happy the people were at the
New Britain Food Larder when we delivered all the items that
we collected.
Colby Micheels, eighth grader at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
We serve visitors who are down on their luck and struggling
to feed their families. Our shelves are now full with lots of
selections that these schools supplied.

Learning a Bigger Lesson
A Celebration of Collaboration
Working with three other schools gave spirit to this program.
We each took a piece of the coordination — creating the flier,
writing the press release, coordinating deliveries, or designing
the logo. Everyone helped out, and it really came together.
Pat Kerwin, Director of Institutional Advancement at St. Jude
Combining our talents and passions for Catholic education was
an unforgettable experience. We are not competing with each
other — we are working together to strengthen the mission of
Catholic schools.
The students talked about the joy in their heart that they felt
from this experience & many gained confidence in wanting to
take on a project of this type themselves.
Kathy Williamson, Director of Institutional Advancement,
St. Joseph/St. Robert School
The students were amazed at how many people cannot afford to
buy food for themselves. It was a real eye-opener.
Sr. Elizabeth Marley, RSM, Principal at St. Jude
I enjoyed counting all the goods we collected. It really
helped me get a sense of how much we can all do when
we work together.

Carrying Momentum Forward
Kindness inspires kindness. Other schools have already
contacted us asking how to get involved next year.
Daniel Clifton, Director of Advancement at St. Katharine Drexel
We would like to continue the tradition and join with the other
two Bucks County schools who earned the award prior to this
year. Good news like this needs to be shared!
Sr. Elizabeth Marley, RSM, Principal at St. Jude
