When students at St. Vitus Parish School recently held a fundraiser for the diocesan mission supporting the poorest of the poor in Chimbote, Peru, they collected $800, which was soon anonymously matched by a parishioner.
“Only because 125 students made small contributions was this brother in Christ able to make a larger gift,” said Father Frank Almade, pastor of the Catholic Community in New Castle. “Our children teach us that every gift matters.”
