DANBURY—Local residents in the Danbury area have been deeply touched by the student-initiated efforts made for those living in the community who have been facing economic and personal challenges that have been magnified by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing that many within their own high school community were experiencing difficulties as a result of the pandemic, Immaculate students began working together to help each other bring dignity and comfort through acts of kindness. “This year, the season of giving thanks and preparing for Christmas has ignited a special spiritual and personal energy among our students. They have been reflecting on their own blessings and have been a shining light by actively reaching out to others during a time when so many feel a sense of darkness,” says school President Mary Maloney.https://i2.wp.com/www.bridgeportdiocese.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/immaculate-Pumpkin-Distribution.jpg?resize=150%2C90&ssl=1 150w, https://i2.wp.com/www.bridgeportdiocese.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/immaculate-Pumpkin-Distribution.jpg?resize=768%2C461&ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.bridgeportdiocese.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/immaculate-Pumpkin-Distribution.jpg?resize=400%2C240&ssl=1 400w, https://i2.wp.com/www.bridgeportdiocese.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/immaculate-Pumpkin-Distribution.jpg?resize=100%2C60&ssl=1 100w, https://i2.wp.com/www.bridgeportdiocese.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/immaculate-Pumpkin-Distribution.jpg?w=920&ssl=1 920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" width="300" height="180" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; height: auto; vertical-align: top; display: inline; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 1rem 1.25rem;">
