intercession for the needs of the world.

leads to true and lasting fulfillment and peace in this world and the next.

Easter Baskets for Friends of the Poor
We have partnered with Friends of the Poor for their annual Easter Food Giveaway. You may drop off small assembled Easter baskets containing a
snack, sweet, and a stuffed animal or small toy; purchase and drop off those same items; or make a monetary donation towards the purchase of items
and baskets which will be assembled by parish volunteers. Drop off your donations and place them in the baskets in the vestibule of the church or bring
them to the rectory during normal business hours by Wednesday, March 16th.
Saint Vincent de Paul Fund
Established in 2012 through the generosity of our parishioners and friends, the Saint Vincent de Paul fund continues to enable us to assist our area
needy, when possible, given the nature of the request. The second collection at all Masses during the weekend of February 21 will be used for the fund.
