The elementary and diocesan high schools are currently collecting summer snacks and other food items for children in need during the summer months. Many students receive breakfast and/or lunch at their schools but go without in the summer. The food collected by each school will be donated to local parish food pantries.
A second initiative is the Prayer Shawl project. Members of our school communities will be creating prayer shawls for patients and nursing home residents of Catholic Health Services. This initiative will continue until September 23.
