The St. Francis de Sales Wednesday night First Communion Class collected (of their own money) $72.00 for the Capital Stewardship Campaign. Two children were so excited that they cleaned their mom’s car and found lots of change and handed it in for the campaign!! These children did a great job and now know how to be good stewards.
