Charity at work at Neil McNeil

Later today, the Director of Education at the Toronto Catholic District School Board, Anne Perron is scheduled to help make sandwiches as students at Neil McNeil High School prepare to provide food to people in need on the streets of Toronto later today.

Just what is the ShareLife connection to this work of charity, you ask?

Sharelife has played an integral role in developing the Gr. 12 Religion course at Neil McNeil. Tim Lee Loy, Schools and Employees Campaign Coordinator here at ShareLife, has worked with teachers at the school to introduce a faith stewardship component to the course in an effort to make learning more hands-on through guest presentations and field trips to different centres with service opportunities. That's what today is about.

The program has been celebrated throughout the diocese and was featured in a Catholic Register article last year.

By helping the Grade 12 students today, Ms. Perron is demonstrating her support for the good work they are doing, and also for the ShareLife-informed curriculum the students are learning and acting on today!
