It's about love.
When Merlene Kincaid sits at a desk with a tiny
four-year old girl reading aloud stories from
a child's picture book, it is love.
"These little
children need love," she said. "Some of
them might not be getting enough out
there in the world. Some don't have any.
But when they're here, they have my love. I give them hugs; I listen to them."

Archdiocese of St. Louis Catholic School students will host a news conference to announce the total dollars they raised this school year for the Key Player Initiative. They will also share stories of their inspiring creativity in fundraising.
Tuesday, April 22, 2pm
At St. Patrick Center
800 N. Tucker Blvd. in downtown St. Louis
The Key Player Initiative is a community-wide effort of Catholic Charities and
St. Patrick Center
to help build permanent, positive changes in the lives of the homeless or those
who are at risk of becoming homeless. Launched in August 2007, Catholic School students took the lead when they
became Key Players and started raising money for permanent, supportive housing.
Money raised by Key Players in the community pays for rent, utilities, Livings
Skills classes, case work and program costs.
