Coin Collection Update!

On November 16th, a Big pep rally ending Pueri Cantores-St. Bernard of Clairvaux's "PC-SBC Coin Collection" program over the last 6 weeks was held.  

PC-SBC kids had a blast taking turns pouring 250+ pounds of collected loose change into the sorting machines of the MidFirst Bank roving community service van.  

Great thanks to MidFirst's David Dang and Sherwood Underdown for working with PC-SBC to make it happen; for presenting PC-SBC Director Kent Campbell with a check for $2432.94 for the coins generously donated by supporters at St. Bernard's and elsewhere; and for matching donations of $500 from MidFirst Bank and $250 from MidFirst's Scottsdale & Shea Branch.  Add in about $500 in bills and checks also dropped into our blue collection buckets by supporters, and we raised enough to send one more of our PC-SBC singers on next year's trip to Rome to sing with Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica for the 2016 New Year Peace Mass.  

Thanks to all who donated, all who held buckets outside masses and elsewhere, and all who helped in myriad ways to make it a huge success!
