Our Corpus Christi Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts braved the weather to place wreaths on 425 graves this afternoon as a part of Wreaths Across America. Every time a scout places a wreath they say the soldiers name, thank them for their service and say a prayer for their soul. A small gesture that means so much to the families of our local fallen heroes. Well done, Scouts! 💙⚜️💛

Fr. Derick visited 7th grade Aspire classes! We have been creating Advent Kindness calendars. He related to this by explaining a quote "If you want to change the world, start by making your bed!" Charity starts at home. If you make your bed and help with chores at home it will become a habit. Then when you leave home you will continue those small acts of kindness at school, in the hallway saying hi, picking up after yourself at lunch and helping others when they are sad. Thank you Fr. Derick!
