Women’s Society is collecting Easter Candy to help the less fortunate, the weekends of March 23/24 & March 30/31. They are looking for individually wrapped small chocolate bunnies, crosses plastic eggs, crafts, little toys.

The Confirmation Class is doing a pre-Lent project which will include essentials for those less fortunate. There will be boxes in the entrances to the church to leave any supplies from the following list: new socks for men and women, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, regular wipes, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, and shampoos/conditioners. There will also be a can if you would like to donate toward this cause. Whatever supplies are still needed will be purchased. This project was selected after last week’s Gospel when Jesus reminds us to do for others as we would want done for us. In our own backyard, we would like to help with essential supplies. God bless you for your continued support – The Confirmation Class
