Helping the Hungry

Yesterday I went to visit Holy Redeemer School with Shepherds of Good Hope CEO, Dierdre Freiheit.  The kids had a huge morning planned where they would make sandwiches for the hungry and homeless.  Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Allan Hubley were also there to help make sandwiches and visit the kids.

Later on that evening I attended the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa's Gala.  Such a lovely evening for a community partner that means so much to us. 

Thank you so much to  Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa, Ottawa Catholic School Board and Holy Redeemer School!  You really make a difference in the lives of those in our care!

Kids that Give

Meet Brayden Davidson, Jonah Longpre and Ashley Matheson.  They are dedicated students from Sacred Heart High School.  This is their first time serving at Shepherds of Good Hope while contributing to their community service hours.  Under the tutelage of Chaplain Mary Defayette, students have been coming to serve at Shepherds of Good Hope once a month for 6 years.

 

 

Thanks kids!
