Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body and Spirit.
Each Lenten season, Assumption School holds a Lenten Giving Project to benefit a needed charity.
In 2017-18 school year, the benefiting agency was Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl. Each class recieved a "Rice Bowl" in their classroom for students to donate change in for those less fortunate.
Catholic Relief Services carries out the commitment of the Bishops of the United States to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas. Motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to cherish, preserve and uphold the sacredness and dignity of all human life, foster charity and justice, and embody Catholic social and moral teaching as we act to:
PROMOTE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT by responding to major emergencies, fighting disease and poverty, and nurturing peaceful and just societies; and,
SERVE CATHOLICS IN THE UNITED STATES as they live their faith in solidarity with their brothers and sisters around the world.
As part of the universal mission of the Catholic Church, we work with local, national and international Catholic institutions and structures, as well as other organizations, to assist people on the basis of need, not creed, race or nationality.
We put our faith into action to help the world’s poorest create lasting change.
