Our celebration began with a time of prayer during which we watched a video of Jackie Evancho, a young girl gifted with an adult soprano voice, singing “To Believe”.
Each year, we collect money for a specific charitable organization and this year we collected for the “Générations Foundation”, an organization which, among other activities, provides a hot meal to needy children in 66 schools in Montreal. During our prayer, we each placed an envelope containing our donation into a basket on the prayer table.
A wonderful time was had by all!
