The Crosses Installation will take place on February 18th (rain date February 25th) at Prince of Peace Church. We are meeting at 9 am and should be done before 3 pm. Bring your family, friends and hammers as we "hammer" home the message about the destruction of lives through abortion. We will install 4,000 crosses to honor the innocent lives lost every day in America. Sign up by calling 829-5516. Attention all students: earn your community service hours!
Thank you to all that contributed to the Crosses Fund. We have been able to replace most of the damaged crosses thanks to the work being donated by the young men of Our Lady of Hope.
The Run for Life will begin this year in Homestead, Florida on February 18th and the runners will complete the grueling 9-day journey, ending in St. Augustine on February 26th at the Big Cross near Prince of Peace Church. The Knights of Columbus, in full regalia, will be there to welcome the runners at approximately 11:30 am.
The Run for Life raises funds for maternity homes and hotlines throughout the state of Florida, including St. Gerard Campus. The nine day vigil is a novena of prayer for babies who are denied their right to be born. Each evening the runners will be welcomed, fed and given shelter by people and families who share in their passion for saving lives. Their sacrifice provides hope and renewed commitment by bringing Christian people together in prayer and fellowship.
Each year, St. Gerard has the honor of hosting the celebration of the completion of the annual Run for Life. The runners will arrive at about 11:30 am on February 26st. They will be sunburned, blistered and sore when they finally reach their destination at the Great Cross on the mission grounds. We will join them as they kneel at the cross in prayer and worship with them at a celebration mass at Prince of Peace Church and a rose ceremony to remember each year Roe vs. Wade has been in existence and all the innocent lives that have been lost. Following the Mass, and in the runners' honor, is a luncheon at 1:30 pm at the Elks Lodge #829, located at 1420 Highway A1A South in St. Augustine. Tickets are $20.00 for adults and $3.00 for children and can be purchased by calling 829-5516.
We look forward to seeing you and your family there. Please join us in this spiritual and reconfirming celebration of life.

St. Gerard Campus is searching for a storefront or building where we can open a thrift store. We have learned from talking with other agencies, this is a wonderful way to raise much needed funds and help the community at the same time. The people of St. Augustine are so very generous and many times we receive more than we can handle. To that end, we would appreciate any leads on a store or building that an owner would like to $0 lease to St. Gerard and get the tax benefit. If anyone knows of a suitable location and/or owner, please contact St. Gerard Campus at 904-829-5516 and speak to Caroline or Maria, or you may e-mail the information to grants@stgerardcampus.org
If you are renewing your vehicle tags, please remember that purchasing a "Choose Life" tag for your vehicle will bring St. Gerard Campus extra funds and show your support for our cause – PROLIFE. The plates are a bright yellow with very cute smiling children's faces depicted. See them at the Motor Vehicle Office.
Our 2011 Annual Fashion Show was a great success. Thank you for all of your support!
Our wish for a new computer lab has now become a reality. Our students are busy studying Computer Applications, where they are learning word processing, such as, Word, Excel and Power Point, to further advance their marketability in the job market. This never would have been possible without their support from TD Bank and the Ward Family Foundation and belief in our mission. A special thank you also goes out to Scott Graddy of Augustine Computer Services in St. Augustine for the countless hours he devoted to installing and upgrading our telephone system and computers throughout our facility at no cost to St. Gerard.
In addition, we have been blessed this year with a very generous grant from the Neviaser Charitable Foundation. They have bestowed upon us $35,000 a year for 5 years. These funds are earmarked for our talented and professional teaching staff. Thank you to Neviaser for believing in us.
Thank you to all our donors and volunteers, who so generously give of their time, talent and money for this mission. We could never do this without YOU!
As in years past, the Jaguar Foundation has been a big supporter of St. Gerard Campus, giving us much needed funds to operate our school and daycare. We are forever grateful. The Jaguar Foundation works hard all year long assisting many charities in and around Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Without their help and guidance many aid organizations, like St. Gerard, would not be able to meet their goals to helping and caring for the less fortunate. We gratefully acknowledge their support and wish them well.
Congratulations and a warm welcome to Shahid Khan on the purchase of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Welcome also to the new head coach Mike Mularkey. Between the new owner, new head coach and our rising star, Blaine Gabbert, we are looking forward to a really BIG year! Good luck and best wishes to all!
