Our own Mr. Brian Pelcin, pastoral associate, has partnered Saint Charles with Stearns Homestead - the last working, educational farm in Parma.  This past summer he and some teachers from the school took students for days of service on the farm.  On December 29, select "campers" will participate in another service, prayerful retreat day. 

The farm has over 70 animals that it cares for on a daily basis.  Part of that care includes feeding them.  That is where Saint Charles School is going to help (in addition to the service day for select students - grades 6-8).

We are asking each family to send in the following items for the farm.  If your child's last name begins with

A - I:  Plain Cheerios (think yellow box)
J - P:  Canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix)
R - Z:  cans of cat food (pâté style only)

We are collecting these food items for the animals next week (December 6-10).  Thank you for your generosity!
