Project Linus

 Because someone stood up with an idea at a Teen Faith Meeting, a service project was done for:

As Charles Schulz’s Linus character from the PEANUTS® comic strip was comforted by his blanket, Project Linus strives to do the same and more for children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. The blankets our nearly 400 chapter coordinators collect from thousands of “blanketeers” across the United States and then distributed to these children provide love, a sense of security, warmth, and comfort.

Two Wednesdays they worked on blankets for children.

Money from the Cookbook sales by 8th grade students at St. Columbkille Catholic School helped pay for some of the meterials.

In the end, 21 blankets went to children in need.

Merry Christmas!

Cookbook

The 8th Grade students from St. Columbkille Catholic

School compiled a cookbook of their favorite recipes.

For the cookbook they interviewed their 2nd Grade Mass buddies. They asked they what their favorite food is? what they think is in that food? and their favorite prayer? Those responses were included as well.

Sales on the cookbook were over $3,0000.

After the expenses were paid, all of the proceeds were given to charities.Some went to buy Christmas Items for children in need in Sarpy County. Some went to the Teen Faith's work on the Linus Project.

The rest of the money was given to the

Stephen Center to help the homeless.

It was their way of saying,

"Merry Christmas!"
