“While some children learn the basics of business by running a lemonade stand, religious education students at one local parish instead used their lemonade stand to teach lessons of faith.
“Summer religious education students of St. Peter Parish in Plymouth put their faith into action with a fresh take on the classic lemonade stand, Aug. 7, displaying a Bible, a crucifix, and rosary beads as they shared their faith and free lemonade with passersby while asking for donations to support the Missionary Childhood Association.
“The students took to the streets inspired by a visit to their parish from Pontifical Mission Societies representatives earlier in the month and displayed some of what they learned.”
The Pilot, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston, recently reported on this outreach initiative by these students from St. Peter.
