Grants Awarded for 2016

Saint Raymond High School, Bronx, NY
Brother Ed Shields, FSC
Retreat Training for Student Leaders
“Students from our Lasallian Youth Group and Student Government will be the leaders for the retreat day.  They will work with small groups and share their experiences of being witnesses to God’s mercy and peace and assist with the activities. The Service Program, will put into practice what the retreat day emphasized. This will help us to continue the goal and lessons of the retreat day in a very practical way.  The retreat does not end with the dismissal bell, but continues throughout the year.”

TIDES Family Services, West Warwick, RI
Ms. Sophia Cartagena
Blessing Bags Activity
“The Blessing Bags Activity would provide basic necessities to clients and their families. The Tides’ Lasallian Committee, together and by association, ran this activity for the first time in August 2016, as a Back-to-School event. The Blessing Bags include a reusable grocery bag filled with one of each of the following items: shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, toothpaste, tooth brush, floss, baby wipes, bandages, brush, Chap Sticks and deodorant. Blessing Bags will be available and ready for clients and families to take home when needed. The Blessing Bags Activity gives our staff an opportunity to teach clients and families the importance of hygiene and follow through with a schedule/structure. These Blessing Bags are passed out at supervisors’ discretion for programs in each of our four offices. The Tides’ Lasallian Committee will be responsible with implementing this activity again at the agency. We will have Blessing Bags ready for the holiday season, late November/early December of 2016. Our hope is to have Blessing Bags available year round for our clients and families.”

Saint John Paul II Academy, Boca Raton, FL
Ms. Shelia Garcia
Lasallian Association Project with Lasallian Educational Center, Homestead, FL
“The inspiration of this proposal is to teach our students Gospel compassion through the encounters of mercy shown to them by their Lasallian counterparts at the Lasallian Education Center in Homestead, FL. With St. John Paul II Academy still being new to the Lasallian mission, we think that taking this opportunity to be able to create a connection to our Lasallian community at Homestead will reinforce and strengthen our identities as a Lasallian and Catholic institution. We will gather together during the season of Easter to have time for a joint community service project and to experience Lasallian association.”
