St. Xavier National Honor Society Raises Money for Well in Nigeria

Each year during Lent, the Salina Diocese schedules Mission Week for the Catholic Schools.  In 2006, Sister Teresita Huse, Dominican Sisters of Great Bend, Kansas, spoke to St. Xavier High School students.  The students were so moved by her presentation that since then, the St. Xavier National Honor Society raised and has now donated $1,200 to have a water well dug in Nigeria, Africa. The well will enable the citizens to have clean drinking water. The sign by the water well will read “St. Francis Xavier National Honor Society, Junction City, Kansas.” Plans are for the well to be dug in January 2010.
