September 2015: "lord I want to see" Lk 18:41

We collected glasses that were not being used and sent them to other countries that are less fortunate.
​So they could distribute them to those who do not have the possibility of getting glasses, giving sight to the blind

 October : “The neighbor is the one who treated
​him with mercy” 
Luke 10:36-37

Late at night, reaching out to ISU students during homecoming, feeding them pancakes,
​praying with them being a Good Samaritan to our neighbors.

November 2015: "I will not forget you" isaiah 49:15

​To show our support and solidarity to our Christian Brothers & Sisters; ​we send letters to the youth of a refuge camp, encouraging them,
​and thanking them for their strong faith and witness.  Below is a list of the Schools and Churches who participated.  
This was a mission of the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we joined .
​$7500 collected and 2438 Letters written for persecuted Christian youth in Middle East refugee camps. Money & letters being hand delivered to the youth in the refugee camps for Christmas by youth from Diocese in Lebanon.

December 2015: "I was hungry" Matthew 25:35

We joined the community in serving at Feed My Starving Children. In just under 2 hours with lots of hands we were able to pack 49,000 bags of food (meals, that they can add water to) which will feed 139 children for a year!!!

​With another session of 2 hours and many more hands the Bloomington, Normal Community
was able to pack over 100,000 meals that can feed up to 259 children for a whole year!!
