A note from Bishop Luers Interim Principal Seth Coffing:
“Give your hands to serve, and your hearts to love.” - Mother Teresa
“One of our main pillars at Luers is serving God and others in a global and changing society. Our students once again did a phenomenal job of representing Bishop Luers with service projects at numerous locations. A huge thank you to Heather Briggs and Jenny Andorfer organizing these projects! Great job by everyone involved! Luers Spirit shows through again and again!”
Here are a few of the responses we received from the organizations we served:
“I could not have asked for a better group of students!!! You should all be VERY proud. I can’t wait for next year!”
Mis Embrey, Volunteer Coordinator
Community Harvest Food Bank
“It was WONDERFUL! The students listened to instructions, worked hard, went above and beyond and left the church and grounds sparkling. We were blessed today! The person who cleans our church has been ill, she will be surprised! Thank you so much!!”
Kathy Wendell, Pastoral Associate
St. Peter’s Catholic Church
“The kids were amazing…very hard workers, but talking, laughing and so pleasant! I LOVED reconnecting with Ann Isch again. Noah and my daughter sang together for years in the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir.”
Julianne Toenges, Coats for Kids Coordinator
Christ Child Society
“Thank you so much for all the help you gave me! The students all did a fantastic job. From building a playhouse for our preschoolers to raking leaves! It was a HUGE help. Thank you so much!”
