Again this year our Religious Education students are working on their Peace Pennies project. Every week they have been collecting pennies for peace as a way to thank God for all they have, and to show that even the smallest coin can make a difference in a child’s life. They are filling a pickle bottle with pennies, which will be rolled and sent to the Belfast Children’s Vacation Project (belfastkids.ca).
The children will be saving pennies until May, and parishioners are invited to bring in any unwanted pennies to go to the cause. You may put your pennies in an envelope, marked “Peace Pennies”, and put them in the collection – we’ll see to it that your pennies make their way to the bottle.
