Parent Connection:
Micah 6:8 tells us, " You have been told . . . what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God." In the Catholic tradition, it is never enough to simply be attentive to the needs of others: we must allow ourselves to be moved by what we see and then act. 

Helping our children become attentive to the needs of others is an important component of parenting and the mission of Catholic schools. Ultimately, the lessons we learn in empathy and action propel us to live Jesus' great commandment: "Love one another" (John 13:34). 

During Founders' Week, our students learned about the plight of young children living in the heart of Mukuru kwa Njenga, one of Kenya's largest slums. Marianist sponsored Our Lady of Nazareth Primary School is an 'oasis' amidst this poverty, offering young children the physical and academic support needed to escape this reality. Our LIFE core team challenged GC students to foster the elementary education of 21 OLN students. 

You, too, can help through a Venmo donation directed to OLN.
Venmo @Gross-HighSchool Be sure to put "OLN donation" in the comments.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration. --Campus Ministry
