St. Aloysius School held a Farmer’s Market, prepared by the students, teachers, and school parents. The market was an example of the school’s commitment to community, service, and compassion.

The Farmer’s Market featured freshly grown produce and hand-crafted items from God's Green Garden, located in the middle of campus. Students, teachers, and parents worked together to plant, care for, and harvest a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. The garden, established in 2009, is a symbol of God's creation emphasizing the abundant blessings that come from working together to serve others, as a faith-filled school community.

The market raised a total of $665.00, which was donated to Catholic Charities USA, to aid families who have been impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. St. Aloysius School continues to lift up those affected by this devastating disaster in prayer.
