Everything is “swine” and dandy at Holy Redeemer School in Marshall

Last October and November, the students of Holy Redeemer School in Marshall took on a challenge by Holy Redeemer pastor, Fr. Jeremy Kucera. The challenge was to help with buying school supplies for the children of the Diocese of New Ulm Mission Parish in San Lucas Toliman in Guatemala by filling up a "two foot" high Pepsi bottle with silver coins.

If the students successfully met this challenge, Father Kucera and school faculty promised to kiss

a pig!

By April, the children had met the challenge with a total of $761.79 retrieved from the Pepsi bottle. Additional funds were also donated for a grand total of $1,142.99.

Father Kucera fulfilled his promise of kissing a pig at the school talent show on Wednesday, May 25.

“Leo” the pig was compliments of 7th grader, Kenny Deutz
