COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT

• • • • Students will participate in a greeting card/letter writing program.
      • Each student will be required to write AT LEAST one card or letter (PER RESIDENT – approx. 34) to distribute to the residents of the nursing home
      • The main requirement for the project is EFFORT
      • Guidelines
        • Cards can be handmade with any materials you want
        • Cards may be store bought
          • • However, if you are using a store bought card – you must also write a note inside each one – your name alone is not sufficient
          • You may write the residents a letter and/or a prayer
            • Write them a letter about yourself, your process in confirmation, your hobbies – anything that you wish to share with them
          • You may include other projects such as ornaments, pictures, small gifts that come from the heart etc.
          • Remember – many of these residents no longer have any family. They do not get visitors often and any small act of kindness goes a long way.  These residents are full of life and stories that we can all benefit from.  They will likely see you as an adopted grandchild and will be thrilled to receive correspondence from you.
      • There will be opportunities for you to participate in Parish activities (such as Gaelic Garlic Gala) throughout the year.
      • You may also contact me with other ideas for projects and we can coordinate community service day or project to be carried out as a group
        • • In the past many students have had wonderful ideas of ways to give back in a way that was meaningful to them
      • You will no longer be ticking hours off and checking boxes. The project is designed for you to understand the full meaning of living a Christian life and giving back to others. The meaning and value of community service cannot be counted in hours, but in effort and love.

    Place all cards/gifts in an envelope or bag and deliver to the parish office Attn: Trish – they will be placed in my mailbox. You can also arrange to meet Trish specifically.
