CHARLOTTE — Artwork painted by fourth- and fifth-grade students at St. Gabriel School was recently put on display at the Charlotte office of Catholic
Charities Diocese of Charlotte. The students, members of the Charlotte school’s Junior Disciples Club, created the works of art during their spring semester.
The Junior Disciples Club is a group of philanthropic students from St. Gabriel School whose purpose is “Children Helping Children.” From this mission statement, club members take part in a variety of activities to aid children locally, nationally and internationally. Activities range from fundraising and participating in Charlotte’s CROP Walk to donation drives for Samaritan’s Feet’s efforts to support Syrian refugees.
The artwork serves to inspire everyone who works at Catholic Charities’ Charlotte office, one of five locations for the diocesan agency that has been serving people in need across western North Carolina since 1949. Learn more about Catholic Charities and how you can help at www.ccdoc.org.
