Using the month of May’s devotion to Mary, students from Zanesville Bishop Fenwick School and Bishop Rosecrans High School collected items needed for the daily activities at Mary’s House. Jonathan Medaugh, the campus ministries director for the Catholic Schools of Zanesville, accompanied the Muskingum Valley Right to Life members on their visit to Mary’s House to deliver the donations.

Medaugh said Muskingum Valley Right to Life and Zanesville’s Catholic schools are exploring other ways to work together.
