Whenever we are in need of hope and God's mercy, we only need to meditate on our Crucifix. The Cross is a symbol of our salvation and God's deep love for each of us. A few weeks ago, our Campus Ministers were busy preparing over a hundred Palm Crosses to distribute at their parish. The Palm crosses served both as a symbol of Palm Sunday and as a way for us to help support families in Africa. The crosses are made throughout the year in seven mud villages in Tanzania as a means to earn money for food and medical supplies. Additional funds were raised to also help stop the spread of Malaria. Malaria is a preventable disease through the use of malaria nets and medicine. Benedictine Academy is a school with a heart the size of the world. As we pray each morning, "Whatever hurts my sister, hurts me... and whatever helps my sister, helps us all. At BA, we believe that we are all part of God's family.
