Our Lenten Appeal

Thanks to Peter Costello for the following report on this year's Lenten Appeal.

The annual Caritas appeal was once again a great success with $4600 being raised over the 6 1/2 weeks of Lent. The Lasallian Youth Leaders got right in behind the campaign and by exhortation and example were a driving force in reaching such a large total. There were dynamic and very generous contributions from  some students, none more so than Kerrin Epplett of Benildus 1 (photo included in earlier post). He donated over $300 himself from his own money. With examples like this we can see the Lasallian spirit of focusing on the needs of all peoples in much worse circumstances than our own is alive and well.
