Baking cookies for the St. Joseph's Altar gives the community a chance to give back to Chapelle. On January, 17th, 28th, 24th, and 25th, students, alumni, and families gathered in the Chapelle cafeteria to make an assortment of Italian cookies.
In order to find out exactly what the St. Joseph Altar baking days mean to members of the community, we asked a few people who attended about their experience. Junior Addie Little stated, “It’s important because from all over the community people come to school to see what we have made from St. Joseph’s Altar and to help make cookies for people who can not bake or they don’t know how to bake these types of cookies. Faculty member, Ms. Diane, had similar things to say, “I am blessed and I love it and I wouldn’t miss it for the world because we are giving back and He, Jesus, sees that.” We also talked to Senior Lynsey Marrone, who has been attending baking days for a very long time, “I’ve been doing baking days since I was 8 and it’s always so fun. I’ve made so many friends, learned so much, and always look forward to the next baking day.”
Once the baking is done, the cookies are used to decorate the altar, as well as given to members of the community in gift bags. After hearing from all of the volunteers, we can see how gathering for the St. Joseph's Day Altar Baking Days is a great way to give back to the Chapelle community.
