Community of Saints Regional Catholic School News

It is one of our favorite times of the year as we begin to prepare for the arrival of Jesus! At Community of Saints, we have the privilege of acknowledging Advent Season and will spend these next few weeks preparing for the birth of Jesus through prayer services, acts of servant leadership, and regular religious education lessons and activities.

This year’s main act of service will once again focus on “Isaac’s Blessing Bags”. Isaac Garcia is a seventh grader at COS and began his mission a year ago to help support people without a home. His “Blessing Bags” are filled with toiletries, packaged food, and warm weather wear. If anyone is interested in donating to this amazing cause, please contact the school, or drop off items in the school office. Thank you!
