Corporal Work of Mercy: Give Drink to the Thirsty

Written by Leona Kelly
     At Holy Rosary School, we strive to develop well-rounded students that will contribute to the strength and intelligence of our community. To that end, each month one grade level takes a turn leading a school-wide service project based on the 7 corporal works of mercy: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead.
     “The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church #2247
     Holy Rosary School's first grade class is leading our school-wide service project providing drinks for the thirsty. Our hearts have been going out to all of the amazing healthcare workers at the hospitals who take such good care of people day and night and who are preparing to care for people with COVID-19. To support our local healthcare workers in the work that they do, including the mission of our corporal work of mercy, giving drinks to the thirsty, all funds collected will be donated to the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund and the Mountain View Charity. These funds are a source of support for healthcare workers and our community when they face unexpected hardships.
