On March 12 and 13th, twenty-eight St. Joseph’s High School students participated in a 25-hour THINKfast, to collect funds in support of Development and Peace.
The event was well represented by students from grades 8-12. Staff members Tim O’Connor and Katie Milosek supervised the fast, and were part of the sleepover that took place at the school on Thursday evening. Activities were organized by the Pastoral Team, and included tag, hide and seek, and a relay event that was similar to the popular “Amazing Race” on television, where awareness was raised about the issue of mining by Canadian companies in third world countries.
To complete the fast, Fr. McNamara, parish priest of Our Lady of Fatima Parish, celebrated Mass with the participants in the school Chapel, with participants joining together in the cafeteria afterwards for snacks and juice.
The THINKfast was a very successful event, raising a total of $1292.25 for Development and Peace.
