"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" 1 Peter 4:10
The 7th and 8th graders particpated in Holy Fire at UIC. This event was designed around the baptismal call to witness our faith. It was a wonderful opportunity for our Young Church to reflect more deeply on the gifts of the Holy Spirit they will receive in the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Grades 5-8 went to Feed My Starving Children in September to pack meals for those in need. This is always one of the field trips the kids enjoy most!
In November St. Viator will partner with Build On and Schurz High School students to participate in a day of service. The students will be making lunches for those in need in the community.
