A BIG thank you goes out to the St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Gertrude and St. Anne Parishes! They hosted the Franklin County Literacy Council during their meeting on Sunday, November 7th. After Betsy Williams gave a presentation about the goals and needs of the Franklin County Literacy Council, the society graciously voted to sponsor six students! These students will no longer worry about the fee required to take the HiSET (High School Equivalency Test). “We Rise by Lifting Others.
