Monsignor Terry Fleming, a graduate of Santa Clara High School in Oxnard, a former associate pastor at Sacred Heart Church, and the current pastor of St. Brendan Church in Los Angeles, was instrumental in the creation of Teddy Bear Day at Sacred Heart School.  Each December he returns to our school to continue his long tradition of collecting the stuffed animals our families have purchased for those in need.  When he arrives sometime in the morning on Tuesday, December 6th, we will all gather in Biedermann Hall to bring stuffed animals to share with children  who need our help to make a merrier Christmas.  The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Adopt-a-Family program asks parishes and schools to contribute and Sacred Heart students donate stuffed animals for the holiday deliveries made to families in need.  On Monday, December 12th our 8th grade students will travel to The Cathedral in Los Angeles to assist in the preparation of these holiday deliveries.
