Feed the Hungry
Lenten Challenge
Once again you have met the challenge!
During this lent, we provided 101 casseroles for the guests at Our Daily Bread. On their behalf we offer our most grateful THANK YOU!
"When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat." (Matthew 25)
Lenten Food Pantry $$$ Match
We are in AWE of your
outstanding generosity!
During our Lenten $$ Match Challenge, you contributed $4,065 in support of our Food pantry. And our anonymous donor matched $2500 for a total of $6,565! Our neighbors in need are very grateful!
Our work is not done, though, as long as hunger exists! Please continue your support of our Food Pantry Outreach—with food or monetary donations—throughout the Easter season. Let us spread the Resurrection HOPE!

From the bull Spes Non Confundit 10
During the Holy Year, we are called to be tangible signs of hope for those of our brothers and sisters who experience hardships of any kind. I think of prisoners who, deprived of their freedom, daily feel the harshness of detention and its restrictions, lack of affection and, in more than a few cases, lack of respect for their persons. I propose that in this Jubilee Year governments undertake initiatives aimed at restoring hope; forms of amnesty or pardon meant to help individuals regain confidence in themselves and in society; and programs of reintegration in the community, including a concrete commitment to respect for law.
The 2025 Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries continues! Pledge envelopes are available in the back of church and can be placed in any of the collection baskets, handed to an usher, or mailed to the address on the envelope.
We thank all those who have already made their pledge/donation. As of 4/11/25, 65 families have donated/pledged $27,554 (90% of our Standard Goal!). Every family's involvement, no matter the amount given, is crucial and valued! It's our hope and prayer that we can exceed our goals, reflecting our commitment to both our parish and the broader Church community.
The Parish Office will be closed this Monday, April 21, for the Easter holiday.
