Student and Parent Volunteers delivering the groceries to Our Lady of Loretto
7th grade students eager to deliver the donations!
On February 9th, the 7th-grade students of the St. Joseph Religious Education Program demonstrated the true meaning of “faith in action” by holding a food drive to support the food pantry for our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead. The initiative, organized as a component of their Confirmation preparation, resulted in groceries for over 35 families delivered to the food pantry.
For these students, the drive was more than just a collection; it was a practical application of their preparation for Confirmation. Inspired by the Gospel’s call to service, the students donated a variety of non-perishable foods, created family grocery bags and delivered them to Our Lady of Loretto pantry. This project allowed the 7th grade Confirmation candidates to move beyond the classroom and make a tangible difference in the lives of others, embodying the spirit of compassion that defines St. Joseph’s parish.
