Lenten drama marks end of drive for Vincent de Paul Society.
…. On Tuesday, Pat was dressed as Pontius Pilate, with a homemade crown of paper and foil on his head, and Chris as a Roman soldier. They were part of a Holy Week drama about Jesus’ death and resurrection, and it marked the end of Lenten donations at Marian.
The last bags of clothing, a space heater and a couple of stuffed bears were blessed at Tuesday’s service and loaded onto a truck from the St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Joseph County.
“It just brings our whole school together,” Chris reminisces.
….. And it was all extra credit, so to speak. Throughout the year, each class adopts and supports a different charity — from a poor Catholic parish in Kenya to Hope Rescue Mission, says Principal Suzanne Wiwi. Many classes are active with that every week.
