Montini Faculty and Staff Gain Service Hours
On Thursday, August 13th, 2009 over 40 members of the Montini Catholic Faculty and Staff, including school Principal, Maryann O'Neill, and school President, Jim Segredo, went to Aurora's "Feed My Starving Children" Volunteer Center. At this center, groups put together highly nutritious meals for severely malnourished children. The meals are distributed to starving children in over 55 countries around the world. This service outreach trip was sponsored by the Montini Catholic Lasallian Educators group. Each individual packaged meal will feed seven children! This service has saved many lives, and it continues to do so with each shipment. The meal bags contain chicken, vegetables, soy and rice. After spending two hours packing food, all the volunteers had the opportunity to taste the food that was being packaged and sent over. Before leaving, as is custom with all their shipments, Montini Catholic High School faculty and staff prayed over their shipment for hopes of a safe and successful delivery.
