Service Project Disguised as Fun

My parents volunteer for a charity called Brothers of Peace where they help package food bags for local needy. The Brothers are trying something new and are putting rosaries in the food bags. They put out a request for rosaries and are getting them by the thousands. The rosaries then need to be untangled and put into little bags that can be easily distributed when filling the food bags. Pauly and Gabriella helped my mom package about 300 over the weekend, and tonight the busy beavers packaged 600 rosaries, untangled, and bundled a bunch more for filling once more little bags are bought. They had a blast. We love rosaries in our house, and they kept finding ones they wanted to keep, so needless to say we have plenty of rosaries in our home. When my mom brought the first batch back to the head Brother, he was shocked at the speed and even more shocked at the age of her helpers. He said that they could keep as many as they wanted and that he wants pictures.

I just found you by accident. I too am a Catholic Homeschool Mom. I hope you don't mind if I follow you and learn from you!
