VMC Works with Community

Students at Vincent Massey Collegiate in Rosemount focused on the “Three S’” before the holidays: socks, shoes and sandwiches. Working with community groups, such as the Knights of Columbus, Cents Of Hope and Our Lady of Pompeii Parish, they created personalized care packages containing the new socks, shoes, hygiene products and holiday wishes for the season.

Topping off the packages were over 1,600 sandwiches for the city's homeless and needy.  “Projects such as this truly demonstrate the Spiritual and Community Animation service in action in our schools and communities,” said Rocco Speranza. “The project allows students to put the virtue of “kindness” into action by sharing with others and creating a day of Joy.”
