RIDGEFIELD—This past Tuesday was Giving Tuesday and many diocesan schools and foundations took part!
One notable campaign was that of St. Mary School in Ridgefield, whose theme was “Blessings in Disguise.”
They created a video to highlight that included updates and how the school has had to make shifts due to the coronavirus pandemic. “What if we shift our thinking?” the video asks. “What if we change the way we look at things? What if we embrace the blessings in disguise? Let’s be thankful for the opportunity to unleash our creativity, for the reminder to cherish our connections, for the chance to test our strength, for the ability to lean into our faith.”
“What matters most? Our children, our community, our blessings in disguise.”
The video thanks donors for their support so that they can continue to best serve their “blessings in disguise.”
St. Mary’s Giving Tuesday results grew from 2016 when we had 98 donors raise $28,921 to this year’s 225 donors who raised $52,610!
(St. Mary School is committed to academic excellence, a strong faith-based education, and a nurturing community environment where students thrive intellectually, spiritually, and socially. For more information visit: www.smsridgefield.org.)
