Fifth Graders Give Over $300

Saint Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 9:7, "God loves a cheerful giver." Fifth graders and their families were certainly cheerful as they gave over $300 to the St. Jacobi Almoner's Fund. What an excellent way to display your love for Jesus because of what He’s done for you! Traditionally each year at Christmas students exchange names and buy a gift for one another. Students did not follow that practice this year, but instead considered those who have real needs. These gifts are used to help both St. Jacobi members as well as those in need from the community who request help with food, fuel, and the like.
