ELIZABETH COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS

The Elizabeth Coalition for the Homeless is celebrating 30 years of serving the homeless and poor of Union County.  One of the events of their celebration is the making of a beautiful quilt comprised of 26 squares, one square for each group that has worked so generously by their side over the years in serving the  needs of the local community.  


Benedictine Academy feels honored and blessed to have the privilege of being part of their tapestry of love.  Our students have consistently responded with joy to their call for clothing and toy drives, Christmas giving tree, babysitting the younger children and tutoring the older children.   Take a peak at our square designed by one of our Student Campus Ministry Leaders, Joyce Mendoza.  


Her message is clear.  At Benedictine Academy, we are a family whose mission is to "listen, learn, lead and love!"
