- Mother of Sorrows School’s 5th grade class visits St. Vincent’s Cardinal Manning Center — where students delivered donations and received a tour — on January 30th as part of its Catholic Schools Week service project.
A big part of annual Catholic Schools Week celebrations at Mother of Sorrows School is service. This year, each class participated in a service project either during Catholic Schools Week or during the week prior. These service projects illustrated how MOS students truly follow the examples of our Vincentian founders and are Young Vincentians.
The service students provided included collecting toiletries, visiting and serving lunch at The Midnight Mission, participating in a canned food drive for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul food pantry at Mother of Sorrows Parish, and a variety of other projects to help the larger community.
Ms. Stryjewski’s 5th grade class collected personal hygiene products – such as shampoo, body wash, mouth wash and lotion – and then delivered them as donations to St. Vincent’s Cardinal Manning Center, which serves men, women and children who are homeless in the Skid Row area of Downtown LA. The 5th grade class also received a tour of the shelter and learned about the services it provides.
Ms. Stryjewski said the service project and visit to Cardinal Manning Center were a great connection to our larger Vincentian family. She also said her students were even able to identify St. Vincent de Paul and Blessed Frédérick Ozanam in pictures on the wall at the shelter.
