Service Opportunities

Join us as we give smiles to residents of Eldercare facilities!
The Romans House and the Senior Class will sponsor Mission Club’s initiative to provide brain games and fun activities for residents of Masonicare at Ashler Village in Wallingford, Ingraham Manor of Bristol and Jerome Home At Arbor Rose in New Britain. Anyone can donate, see Dr. Gnoza, Mrs. Glynn, Mrs. Kendrick, Sister Marie Benedict or Mrs. Zillich for more info.
Donations can be placed in the blue collection box outside the Main Office the week of April 12. We need 12 volunteers to sort and pack items for delivery on April 19.
You can help the elderly people in our towns who feel lonely and listless. Eldercare facilities and their residents were hit especially hard by the pandemic and these organizations can use our help to make their lives brighter.

St. Paul said in his letter to the Romans, “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves,” (Romans 12:10 NIV).

Join Mission Club, Romans House, and the Senior Class in making a difference to the elderly experiencing loneliness in nursing homes in and around towns in our SP community. Simply purchase items from the list below and bring them to school starting April 12.
