Thank you to everyone who donated to our Blessing Bag service project.
With your generous donations, we were able to put together 110 Blessing Bags for the homeless. We had over 1500 items donated and were able to fill the bags with toiletries, socks, hats, gloves and multiple granola bars and beef sticks.
Thank you for your generosity.
Please keep the homeless in your prayers, especially during these harsh winter months.

"Chalking the Door" - An Epiphany Classroom Blessing.
Our 8th graders generously spread good wishes throughout our classrooms, by "Chalking the Door". Above the classroom doors, a mysterious message in chalk appeared:
20 + C + M + B +19
The "C", "M", and "B" are the initials for "Casper", "Melchior", and "Balthasar", the 3 magi. The "C", "M", and "B" also stand for the Latin words "Christus Mansionem Benedicat", which means, “May Christ bless the house.”
The “+” signs represent the cross and 2019 is the year.
This blessing is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our lives and in our classrooms at St. Ignatius Loyola Regional School.
