“Only the human person, created in the image and likeness of God, is capable of raising a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to the Creator. The earth, with all its creatures, and the entire universe call on man to be their voice.”
Pope John Paul II — Homily, San Antonio, Texas 1987
BARABOO -- This year, the fourth and fifth grade students at St. Joseph School in Baraboo became that voice talked about by Pope John Paul II and so much more — through their participation in Children Are The Hope (CATH), a project that aims to connect Wisconsin children to Cuban children through environmental and cultural education.
Children Are The Hope is an organization based in Wisconsin, partnering with the Empresa Nacional para la Proteccion de la Flora y Fauna and University of Havana in Cuba, along with nearly 20 primary and elementary schools from the north-central region of Cuba and the southern half of Wisconsin.

MADISON -- Our Lady Queen of Peace School students, through their fundraising efforts, made a group of parents and their children very happy. This school year the students held a fundraiser for the Spina Bifida Family Network (SBFN). Each grade unit participated and the unit that raised the most money was rewarded with a “Root Beer Float” party. The students altogether collected $1,868.63 for the SBFN. During a recent assembly, a check was presented to the SBFN and accepted by Aimee Tobin whose daughter, Caitlin, also a Queen of Peace student, was born with spina bifida.

Latest Youth Column
At most high school graduations, exceptional students are recognized. Those who receive top grades or excel in athletics are honored for their achievements. Sometimes, those who go above and beyond also receive a moment in the spotlight for their exceptional efforts.
One of those students should be Austin Fisher, a senior at Carrollton High School in Ohio.
This year, on top of completing his senior year at school and playing on the varsity baseball team, he cared for his mother, who is battling Stage 4 breast cancer. He not only worked two jobs to help her pay the bills, he also took her to doctor's appointments and cared for her after treatments when she couldn't get out of bed.
Because of his amazing caregiving efforts, Austin missed 16 days of school during his first semester this year. That number wasn't enough to kick him off the varsity baseball team, but it was enough for school administrators to tell him he was ineligible to walk during his school's graduation ceremony.
