For St. John the Baptist students, supporting annual appeal is not out of fashion
With a dress-down day, students at St. John the Baptist School in Silver Spring provided a lift up for the Annual Catholic Services Appeal of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
The St. John the Baptist School students wore casual clothes instead of their school uniforms on that day, and they donated $625 for the annual appeal.
“We are deeply grateful to the students, parents, faculty, and staff of St. John the Baptist School. Through their generosity, they are supporting the ministries of the Church throughout the Archdiocese,” said Mary Simboski, the Secretary for Stewardship for the Archdiocese of Washington.
The appeal supports more than 70 ministries throughout the archdiocese, including educational and charitable outreach; support for seminary education and for clergy and religious; chaplains at universities, hospitals and prisons; communications and evangelization outreach; and parish, family and life ministries.
