At Easter, we celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection in the most beautiful way we can. The joy of our celebration is expressed in the beautiful flowers which adorn our sanctuary during our worship. Your donation of these flowers, which extravagantly display our joyful hope as we celebrate the Resurrection, can also be a prayer for your family members and friends who have passed from this world, awaiting the resurrection of their bodies. If you would like to donate to our Easter Flower Fund, to remember and pray for your loved one(s), we will publish their names in the church bulletin, in Flocknote, and on our website. There is no suggested amount for your donation. Please return the completed form below in the enclosed envelope, in the collection basket or by mail. You may also use the QR code on the right on the graphic or CLICK here to make an online donation.

What is the Boxes of Joy campaign?  

This is a project done through Cross Catholic Outreach.  It is an effort to bring small boxes of gifts as a Christmas present to impoverished children around the world.  You can view here to learn more about who they have served in the past and to see who they plan to serve this year.  Also, here is a short video explaining what Box of Joy is.

What goes in the boxes?

The boxes are shoebox sized, so we ask that all items be small enough to fit in there with the other items.  The categories needed include toys, school supplies, hard candy/gum, apparel, hygiene/home, accessories, and other useful items.  View here to see a more complete list of ideas.  In addition, $9 is needed for each box to cover shipping and to support the priests and religious who live there. New this year: We will not be collecting checks for this; all donations will be done online through this link (choose option 1).  You may also include personalized notes that the students can put into the boxes as a way to connect with the other children.  Here is an example template you can have the students complete, or you can have them create their own letters.
