“Souper Bowl” Sunday, February 7th

“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat” — Souper Bowl of Caring founding prayer.

Even though this has become a “national” holiday in our American tradition, it has also become a kind of tradition in our parish as well. Our youth asks us to participate in this important way again this year: to consider a donation for the “Souper Bowl”.

This is a national effort wherein funds are collected and given to local agencies to help in some type of relief. A “soup pot” will be available this Sunday for your loose change, folding money, or even canned goods.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

Their daily food

bag-groceries-foodRemember… We are using the month of August to remember those in need of daily food. Please bring non-perishable food items through this month so that we can minister to those in need. It is not just during the Penitential times of the year that we collect food items or that those who are hungry are in need. It is throughout the year that this is true. Please make sure you bring in some items that can fill a table with necessary nourishment.

Remember, any amount will be helpful.

May God bless your sacrifice!

Spend some time…

BreakfastPlease plan to spend some unhurried time with our parish family this coming Sunday, July 12th. A breakfast will be served following Holy Mass. This is always a great time to “catch up” with the members of our church family to see what’s up in their lives, as well as to share stories about how God has impacted lives in between the times we were last afforded the opportunity to share this news.
