RED DEER- Grade 12 students at St. Joseph High School have chosen to support the Hospice Society of Red Deer through their Grad Service project.

The Grad Committee chose the Hospice Society to raise awareness and support the families going through this difficult stage of life.

“We are so excited to be raising funds and awareness for the Hospice Society of Red Deer this year! Our students chose the aging community as an area they would like to focus on as it aligned with their issues-of-interest they identified and with our faith journey as a school. Helping those during this difficult time in their lives is something our grad committee is very passionate about and I look forward to seeing what this year brings as we kick-off our third grad service project,” said Grad Service Project Coordinator, Ashley Visscher at St. Joseph High School.

Through the Grad Service Project, students have the opportunity to volunteer at the Hospice Society of Red Deer and spend time with residents.

This includes sharing their own gifts and talents with patients, as well as assisting with the annual Hospice Society Gala in March 2020.
