project of the year. Our class will be taking donations of food during the Lenten Season
to give to Food for the Poor. The items that are needed most are non-perisable food
products such as; noodle, mac/cheese, and rice cups, pop top cans of ravioli, spaghetti,
pasta sauce, canned fruit, and etc, small boxes of pasta, pudding and fruit cups, shelf
stable milk, cereal, pancake mix made with water, small containers of syrup, and
breakfast bars. Healthy snacks are needed also. We encourage everyone to check the
grocery isles for good tasteing, healthy items that will satisfy a hungry student.
Donations can be placed in the book bags in the back of church. Our class is looking
forward to doing our part to help this service project be successful.

their concerns and lend their voices by responding to an online survey. Please visit
https://responseincrisis.archkck.org/ to learn how we actively safeguard the innocent and provide care for
those affected by abuse. Please join us in praying to our Blessed Mother, Mary, who feels our sorrow and shares
our pain.
