Slavery still exists today in places like Sudan, but it is covered up. Few news stations choose to inform us about the ongoing slavery problem in our world today, so most of us don’t even know that we can help. But we can.
With the leadership of Joe Tassone, Religion and Social Studies teacher and moderator for the St. Vincent De Paul club (SVDP), Marin Catholic took steps (literally) to raise money and spread awareness of slavery in Sudan. The walk, hosted along with Christian Solidarity International Ryan Gumm ’13 (CSI), brought over 130 people to walk together for the freedom of slaves.
It takes $100 to free one slave and give them a “sack of hope” which provides them with necessary items to survive. Every cent counts and every $100 raised is another smile from a freed slave. According to Tassone, over $20,000 was raised in Marin and as a result, 200 slaves will be freed and given a “sack of hope.” He states, “I am so glad to be working at a school that really practices ‘Faith, Knowledge, and Service’ and tries to love its neighbors, as Christ loves us.”
Joining the community on the walk was ex-slave Keer Aleu who was intentionally blinded at the age of six. Despite this, he carries himself with poise and joy. He is fluent in English with less than two years of lessons. In addition, Heidi McGinness, Director of Outreach for CSI as well as a videography crew joined the community for the walk which will be featured in a documentary about Keer. Keer loved meeting Stephane Peltereau–Villeneuve ’15 Serving Others, Discovering Passions and chatting with kids his own age. Marin Catholic High School senior, Karen Monterroso, has volunteered over “The spirit and participation was amazing.

26—MARIN CATHOLIC FALL 2013 FALL 2013 MARIN CATHOLIC —27 St. Anthony Junior Retreat: Lessons of the Heart By Peggy Semling ‘84, Director of Campus Ministry
For over a decade, our Junior students have put the Gospel into action by serving those in need in one of San Francisco’s most impoverished areas, the Tenderloin. In solidarity with St. Anthony’s Dining Hall, the students spend the day preparing and serving meals. Typically, over 1,500 plates are served a day, 365 days a year. Some of the students chop and plate meals, while others bus dishes. We also participate in many of the outreach programs that St. Anthony’s offers to its community. Students interact with the elderly at local care centers in the Tenderloin, cheering on our older brothers and sisters through daily exercises or playing a round of bingo. Others help with the Salvation Army’s “Meals that Heal” program, bringing food to shut-ins, frequently being the only contact a person might have with others that day. Another group of juniors head down to the clothing program folding bins of clothes to be given to the less fortunate, and playing with the children while the parents shop for much needed wardrobe items. All students reconvene and dine with the visitors of St. Anthony’s, sharing stories and lending an ear to those who have been marginalized by most of society.
No matter what area is served, students are aware that hospitality is the main focus of the service. Being the eyes, ears, and heart of Christ for others is a humbling experience for our youth and teachers that participate in this program. Each Theology class participates in this service project one time throughout the year. This retreat begins with morning Mass at our Marin Catholic St. Francis Chapel, where students have prepared prayers and intentions for the people they will be meeting later in the day. An additional visit to St. Boniface Church, which serves the Tenderloin, is another component where we can witness our call as Catholics to love one another as Jesus loves us. The Gubio Project provides a safe haven for the homeless within the walls of St. Boniface where love and good will abound. Our community sees first hand how this Franciscan effort to reach the poor has its healing effects. The day ends with students hearing a witness talk from one of the recovering addicts in the St. Anthony Recovery Program. Students are astonished at the bravery, integrity, and faith these men have. The bus ride back is usually quiet, as students are not only tired from a fulfilling day of work, Top: Connor O’Malley ’14 puts time in to volunteer at St. Anthony’s. but are truly pensive about the experience. A deepening of empathy for Bottom: Maria Stephens ’14 and Sister Thomas Aquinas prepare food for St. Anthony’s along with members of last year’s Junior Class. others, and gratitude for the gifts that God has given us makes the day truly a rich moment in our school year.
