LINVILLE — Children in St. Bernadette Parish’s faith formation classes recently wrote cards and letters of support for seminarians and women and men religious serving in the Diocese of Charlotte.

The students wrote a total of 57 letter and cards that were then mailed out to the diocese’s seminarians and consecrated men and women who serve in ministry throughout western North Carolina.

“Some of our families got involved at home on snow days as well,” noted parish office manager Bobbi Havron.

Havron said the students wanted to inspire and express gratitude to the seminarians and religious for their vocations. The lesson was also an opportunity for the classes to learn more about vocations in the Church and to explore how God might be calling them to spread the Gospel message.
