The Toledo Labre Program
Every Monday night—rain or shine, holiday or school day, summer or winter—students from St. Ursula Academy and St. John’s Jesuit High School come together in a simple act of faith: offering food and friendship to the hungry and homeless of inner-city Toledo.
Students meet each Monday afternoon at one of the two schools, where they make and package food for the hungry and homeless in Toledo. After the food is ready, they hold a brief prayer service. Then, the group members ride together to three locations, where they distribute food and interact with community members, who often simply want to have a conversation. Afterward, the students head back to the school to reflect on the people they met, pray for each of them, and note any special needs for the next visit.

Parent Acknowledgement, Release, and Permission Form
This form covers the school year from June 2023 - May 2024.
I grant my child (named below) full permission to take part in The Toledo Labre Program. While I understand that every effort is made for school events, on or off school premises, to be safe, I acknowledge that an activity of this sort involves a potentially higher degree of risk of injury or illness than a typical school field trip experience and that my child is participating in the activity at his/her own risk with my permission. By signing below, I and my child acknowledge that participation in this activity is voluntary and further acknowledge that by participating therein, any and all risks associated with this activity, whether known or unknown, are expressly and impliedly assumed by the undersigned and not by St. Ursula Academy and St. John’s Jesuit High School, their officers, directors, members, employees, agents, assigns, volunteers, constituents, and/or any other persons, parties, or personnel affiliated with St. Ursula Academy and St. John’s Jesuit High School. I understand that my child will be engaged in a ministry with the homeless and poor in the neighborhoods of urban Toledo during the evening hours and that those served are not pre-screened and may suffer from addictions, psychological issues, and illness and may have been incarcerated at times in their lives. St. Ursula Academy’s and St. John’s Jesuit High School’s only responsibility is to make reasonable efforts to contact me and seek appropriate care for my child should the need arise.
I represent that my child has had such medical physical examination as I deem necessary to assure that he/she is physically able to participate in this activity and that I have disclosed to the school such medical information as I deem appropriate. I acknowledge that my child’s medical authorization form is on file and is up-to-date, listing all known medical conditions and medications. I also understand that my child must adhere to all safety rules and regulations, including any additional guidelines or waivers as may be added from time to time, or be excluded from participation in this activity.
I and my child, in consideration of being permitted to participate in this activity, assume all the risks associated with participation in this activity, and specifically release St. Ursula Academy and St. John’s Jesuit High School, and their officers, directors, members, employees, agents, assigns, volunteers, constituents, and/or any other persons, parties, or personnel affiliated with St. Ursula Academy and St. John’s Jesuit High School connected with this activity in any way whatsoever from any and all blame or liability (including negligence) for any injury, illness, harm, loss, inconvenience, or damage to person or property sustained as a result of taking part in this activity and all activities and events associated with it, including travel to and from this activity.
I understand that school rules of conduct, as set forth in the Student Handbook, apply throughout this activity and that if my child does not comply, I will be required to make arrangements, at my expense, to return my child home.
