Charism Update

Charism

Charism is such an important part of the mission and teaching here at Alverno Heights Academy. Led by Katharine Guerrero, Head of Campus Ministry, our girls devoted countless hours to completing their Advent Service Projects with love and grace. After a schoolwide Eucharist for Thanksgiving, presided over by Fr. Michael Cooper, both our Lower School and Upper School worked together to collect much needed supplies to give to our most vulnerable neighbors. It was such a special bonding moment for both schools as they worked together for the sake of serving others.

• Helping the Humane Society in San Gabriel Valley and Riverside • Gathering pajamas, personal hygiene products, and art supplies for the women of Alexandria House • Securing Hoodies for migrant farm workers in San Jose • Collecting board games for homeless families at El Nido • Putting together hygiene-filled backpacks for Eaton

Canyon Foundation to be distributed to clients in homeless encampments.

At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”

— Mother Teresa

We are so proud of all of our students for their dedication to helping God’s children!
