St. Michael School of Hudson MA:

teaching their children that through HCA, it all adds up!

Prayer + Sacrifice = Faith in Action!


Long before the current faculty and student body were part of the St. Michael School family, the Holy Childhood Association and Mission Education were alive and well and being taught in Hudson! Continuing in a long standing tradition in support of "Children Helping Children", St. Michael's recently hosted a visit from local HCA coordinator (and St. Michael alum) Maureen Crowley Heil. The students learned that through their participation in HCA, they are part of a Mission Family that spreads far beyond the borders of their own town or country: it goes to the ends of the earth! Watch as the students hear about HCA members in Ecuador who are praying for all HCA members around the world, including those in Hudson. What St. Michael's students heard inspired them to think of ways to make their own Lenten sacrifices, eventually raising $575 for HCA!

St. Michael School

and

the Holy Childhood Association

is a winning equation!
