We continue to Pray...LA FIRES - We continue to pray for all those victims of the recent fires and for the start to recovery and efforts. We pray for our first responders as they work to protect and our governing bodies as they advocate for our hurting communities . As Mr. Guerra noted, Campus Ministry is working on ways that our school community can faithfully and effectively respond to efforts in our communities to respond and rebuild.
Many organizations are flooded with material donations, so if you feel so inclined, financial assistance is a great way to help immediately to those impacted with the fires. Below are some vetted organizations that are supported by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. If your family would like to donate monetarily, we encourage you to use the organizations below.
Glam It Up! Now that the Homecoming Dance is over, we invite you to donate any gently used semi-formal or formal attire, for both boys and girls, for school events and dances. These donations will be given to local organizations, to help teens be able to attend these memorable high school events. Please feel free to email senior Maddy Krakauer, founder of Glam It Up! with any questions! The box for donations will be in Campus Ministry.
