Joyfully serving God’s family in our community!
MBS 3rd Grade students are collecting toiletry items to benefit
the homeless men, women and children served by the
Bishop Ott Shelter
, a ministry of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
The collection will run from Monday-Monday, February 18 – 25, 2019.
We are asking all of our school students to bring
unopened
small size items such as
bars of soap, shampoo, deodorants, lotions, toothpaste, toothbrushes, disposable razors, etc.
We will also accept
unopened
hotel toiletry items if families have them from traveling.
Let us bring a
Harvest of Blessings
as we cultivate this kindness
toward our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in need!
“Whatsoever you do to the least of My people, that you do unto Me.”
(cf. Matthew 24:40)

Office of Child Protection
|
|
According to the Safe Environment Policy mandated by the Diocese of Baton Rouge,
all school volunteers/school ministry volunteers/chaperones
must complete a mandatory background check and child protection training. Please note that MBS School child protection requirements are not the same as MBS Parish. Therefore if you are compliant for the Parish, you are not automatically compliant for the School, and vice versa. It is important to remember the paperwork is time sensitive. If you began the process and did not complete all the steps in a timely manner, you may have to resubmit the paperwork. Many files have been archived due to inactivity, and/or files not being updated. Call Mrs. Landry at 225-753-5526 or email
childprotection@mbsbr.org
for assistance.
