Pennies from Heaven\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u2013 Our students collected $525 for the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC).
Thanks to 2 anonymous donations of $600 and $75 we were able to donate $1,200 to this organization.
This should be an adequate amount to support at least 2 mission priests for a year.\u00a0 Thanks and God\u2019s blessings to all who donated.<\/p>\n
