STUDENTS DONATE BIBLES TO TAMPA HIGH SCHOOL

High School Level students collected alms this past Lenten season to contribute to IWA's Solidarity Fund which is used for various mission and service projects throughout the school year. Using funds from the Solidarity Fund, the students recently donated nearly 100 Bibles to freshman at Cristo Rey Tampa High School, a Catholic, college-preparatory school and corporate work study program in Florida. The donation request for the Bibles came from former IWA President and CEO Charles D.
