MIDDLESEX TWP — Students at Holy Sepulcher Catholic School worked to bring warmth to those in need during a service project Wednesday as part of Catholic Schools Week.

The weeklong celebration, usually held by Catholic schools at the end of January or the beginning of February, features projects, activities, school spirit and volunteer crafts made and organized by students and teachers.

“Catholic Schools Week always has a service project of some sort for our community,” said principal Ashley Bauer. “One of our days, we commit to the community. We try to do one day for the students, one day for the staff, one day for the parish, one day for the priests, and one day is for the community.”
