Vow of Silence Day


On March 5, we joined our sisters & brothers across the globe by Taking a Vow of Silence for children who have no voice. Millions of children around the world are suffering from gross injustices. Student Members of our O Ambassador Club decided to raise awareness for children being oppressed by child labor, human trafficking, poverty, lack of education or unsafe unhealth conditions. They wore tape on their mouths and statistics on a badge for other students to read and pray for as a group. It was a powerful way to say WE CARE. At Benedictine Academy, we believe we have a social responsibility to build a culture of peace and justice.
