Dear Parishioners,

The Knights of Columbus once again will be asking for your donated goods beginning this week until December 15th to:

Help the Homeless benefitting the Peter Maurin Center

I am incredibly grateful for their initiative to perform this corporal work of mercy (“clothe the naked” and “feed the poor”) for our IHM parishioners and your response to this great need. There will be bins at the entrances of our church building to collect

NEW OR GENTLY USED:
BOOTS
HOODIES
FLASHLIGHTS
BACKPACKS
HAND WARMERS
SOCKS
GLOVES
UNDERWEAR
MEAL CARDS
BUS PASSES

While all of us experience such busyness in life this is a great reminder and activity to address others in need and take some of the focus off ourselves and especially in this season of giving. This activity can be a personal boost for someone who is single and for a household family activity to unite this corporal work of mercy teaching the youth the importance of helping others.

When one participates in a corporal work of mercy there is personal gratitude and wonderful satisfaction.

Many blessings,
Father Jim
