MHT students make cards for soldier
Seventh graders at Most Holy Trinity
School, San Jose, expanded upon their
weekly Gospel and homily responses
they write each week in letter form. At
the request of a seventh grade mother,
they made cards for Jake Owens, the
23-year-old brother of Ricey (in photo),
who is currently serving in Kuwait.
Students each chose a quote from the
Mass readings of the day and created
cards. Ricey is pleased that the class
has taken an interest in his brother
and plans to communicate with him via
satellite soon.
