On Oct. 9th, STA will welcome Sr. Eva Rodriguez SJS to give presentations on the Missionary Childhood Association. Our students will learn about Sr. Eva’s work with MCA and her experiences with children in other parts of the world. Our community has an opportunity to act generously to show our solidarity with those children who face great challenges with receiving an education.

From October 9th through October 24th, our students are asked to collect spare change to fill our coin boxes. Additionally, we will have three “Jeans for Jesus” days for a minimum $1 donation each participation day (dates listed above). All proceeds from these two activities will be donated to MCA.

As we look forward to All Saints Day, we are reminded that our very own St. Therese of Lisieux is Patroness of the Missions. While St. Therese did not have the opportunity to go out as a missionary herself, she had a heart for missions and a fervent desire to help those in need of the gospel. As we imitate her “little way,” I encourage our community to act generously in support of MCA.

I would also like to extend a special note of gratitude to Mrs. Tina Mazon who serves as our MCA Coordinator this year. Her efforts will bring Sr. Eva to us, and our students will be inspired to be changemakers!
