Saint Thomas Academy Touch of Grace Campaign Meets Deep Needs

The Touch of Grace Giving Campaign helps the STA community better understand the struggles of families facing serious economic need.

Blessing of the Gifts: Monday, Nov. 24, 9:30 a.m.
The Touch of Grace Giving Campaign helps students, faculty and staff better understand the struggles of families whose lives are marked with serious and, sometimes overwhelming, economic challenges, by giving them opportunities to respond with committed, compassionate and generous hearts.

For three weeks in November, each high school theology class has been gathering nonperishable food items and Christmas gifts for a family its class has “adopted” for Thanksgiving and Christmas through the Bush Family Foundation in St. Paul or Risen Christ School in Minneapolis. The middle school has been collecting food for the Franciscan Priory of Peace Food Shelves in St. Paul, and hats and mittens for others.

The Blessing of the “Touch of Grace in a Season of Miracles and Sharing” gifts will take place during formation on Monday, Nov. 24.
