Distributing backpacks is common here, but I've never heard about blessing them.
This is so cool! A wonderful idea!
Hello, what a great idea! Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
wise campaign
Sounds like a good idea
Whether you "believe" or not, it doesn't matter. . .can't hurt! So happy that backpacks are available for kids. A somber note: couldn't help but notice the date, Sept 11, and the irony of the concept of safety.
That "blessing" part is a new one to me however the backpack drive is something I've seen done a lot around here. In fact, the place I work just finished one.
I saw an article about a Lutheran church in South Florida that was conducting a "Blessing of the Backpacks" service. Sounds rather silly to me, but I suppose it's a good gimmick to get the kiddies involved along with their parents.
Never heard of the idea that backpacks need a blessing but distributing them is charitable.
I know that they distribute backpacks to kids but never heard about the blessing part.
I was going to say. . . probably as much about giving out backpacks as blessing them.
I have seen churches bless all sorts of things, but never backpacks. Good they are giving backpacks away. That should help many hard pressed families.
I support this action. We should do all we can to make an even playing field for kids at school.
Sounds good to me.
Nice initiative.
I haven't heard that idea before.
I like the blessing added to help kids get school supplies.
catholics do some strange things (i was raised one). but guess it can't hurt. :)
I like the backpack drive idea for kids who can't afford it and prayer is effective.
that's great! good choice, P
We just had a blessing of the backpacks at my church this past Sunday. Episcopalian, not Catholic, and we also have a school at our church, so I think that is why they do this.
Update on those bags. A movie star who is black. She won for one of the movies made in setting of Africa in Toronto . The tiff is it called. The red Carpet walk.She was on the Allen D Show today. Sept 21/2016
They are taking the bags to Africa and will
have a light inside as a bonus so the children traveling will be able to see. They travel in the dark to school. The African children. I think you can see the video shows on your computer most times. If you missed the show.
