This year
The Prince Vladimir Youth Association is hosting the 3rd “School piggy bank”
program to help the St. Elisabeth special needs orphanage in Minsk, Belarus.
Most of the children never had a home and do not know parental warmth. Many of
them have complex diagnosis but are given loving attention by the sisters of
the St. Elisabeth
convent.
During
Great Lent, this good deed will reach out to children’s and youth of parish
schools to collect their assistance to help other children in need. We appeal
to help support these poor orphans. Every penny donated by your children will
mean a great deal. Collected funds will be of great use and support to these
parentless children. They will especially be happy to know that children their age
provided the needed assistance.
Love is
expressed in actions and teaching the importance of sacrifice helping the needy
is an important lesson to encourage in our communities. We hope that during
Great Lent your children will express their love for God and their neighbor by
helping the needy children of Minsk, which will also be a stimulus to the
children collecting.
