BERLIN — As a part of our local wellness campaign, “Read. Run. Reach,” All Saints Catholic School (ASCS) in Berlin is partnering with an organization called “Threads of Hope” in an effort to provide hope for families at risk and in need in the Philippines and for children and their families in our own community who may need medical assistance.

It has been over four months since Typhoon Haiyan wreaked havoc in the Philippines, but the effects of the storm are still very visible. Many families continue to suffer from the aftermath of the Super Storm, which left nearly the entire island in shambles.

BERLIN — The Community Health Network (CHN) wellness campaign “Read. Run. Reach.” is in full swing at All Saints Catholic School (ASCS) in Berlin.

This campaign began on February 28 as collaboration between the schools in Berlin and CHN as a way to increase awareness of the importance of literacy, physical activity, and being kind and thoughtful in actions.

Lenten alms: A rice bowl for all

When I first heard about Operation Rice Bowl at my parish in America, I thought they were talking about something I knew so well from Chinese culture.

I don’t have to tell you that the Chinese people eat a lot of rice — you have been to enough Chinese restaurants and seen enough Chinese landscapes with rice paddies to know that. But “rice bowl” was a term I heard all the time, and not just at mealtimes.
