Sand in Our Shoes - Inspired by the story which made headlines in the Archdiocese newspaper the Voice “They told us if we put sand in our shoes we’d stay here forever” – Sister Lucia.  This little beach house of Divine Providence is the second in a series of fairy houses created for our Art-rageous Auction on Italian Night.  The little beach house was hand made by the adult students, no detail was spared.  Everything from tiny shoes filled with sand to actual photos of the Sisters on the beach, to a sand sculpture of our founder St. Joseph Cottolengo. This little house even includes an “artist’s cove” a little spot for creativity inspired by our beautiful artist Sister Fausta. The dolls were handmade and the photos are actual shots from a beach photo shoot we had a few years ago in photography class.

Driftwood Art

By alice.francis • February 20, 2025
This piece of driftwood from the Florida shores came to life in art class from our adult student's beautiful imaginations. We brainstormed what each person saw in the wood and brought the vision to life as a group. We concluded that it resembled a mother walking up through a meadow, holding a baby, and collecting flowers in a basket she carried over her head. As we were thinking of a name for our piece we shared our vision with Sister Fausta. Sister was reminded of the Madonna Dei Fiori - Our Lady of Flowers. She shared with us that there is a Sanctuary of the Madonna Dei Fiori located in BRA CUNEO, ITALY just 31 miles south east of Turin.

A Heartfelt Thank You to The Marian Center On Wednesday, February 12, we had the honor of picking up 20 beautifully crafted HOPE boxes created by the incredible students of The Marian Center School and Services in Miami Gardens. For over 61 years, The Marian Center, a part of the Archdiocese of Miami, has been dedicated to serving students and adults with diverse abilities, empowering them through education, faith, and community support. Each year, during Catholic Schools Week, they select a service project that reflects their belief in the power of giving. This year, we were truly grateful that they chose to partner with Joshua’s Heart Foundation to spread hope and kindness through their thoughtful donations. “The mission of The Marian Center is to educate and empower persons with diverse abilities and nurture them to wholeness, following the Gospel and the Church’s call to Love, Charity, and Justice.” We extend our deepest appreciation to the students, faculty, and staff for their generosity and dedication to making a difference.
