Why confine St. Nicholas to only one month of the year? As the patron of children, he’s on the job all 365 days. The St. Nicholas Project in Vermont knows this well, as the effort cares for a group of youngsters throughout the year to emulate the saint’s specialty.
“The St. Nicholas Project is a Catholic movement to mobilize Catholics to perform works of charity year-round for the children at the Kurn Hattin Homes for Children in Vermont,” explained Father Lance Harlow, the project’s founder. He is rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph Co-Cathedral in the Diocese of Burlington, Vermont. “It is a collaboration between the Catholic community and the homes for the promotion of child welfare for children at risk.”
