As we begin May, devoted to the virtue of love, Saint Luke Catholic School (and also PREP) will be demonstrating our love for our neighbors in Haiti. We will be working to provide resources for Haiti’s National School of Jacot. Approximately 80 students attend the school, but it lacks electricity, running water, and they have very limited supplies. As part of our efforts to make improvements, Saint Luke Catholic School and parish will be collecting much needed school supplies which include: chalk, crayons, rulers, pencils, erasers, backpacks, pens, and notebooks
