•Boxes of Joy: Again this year, St. Patrick's will be participating in the Boxes of Joy Project. These boxes, containing school supplies, clothing, toys, and hygiene products are distributed to the poorest of the poor in seven countries in Central America. In 2019, Cross Catholic Outreach's box program served almost 76,000 children. Because of the COVID 19 pandemic, we have placed an original order for 50 boxes instead of our usual 100. We understand that shopping for materials and paying an additional $9 postage may be problematic during this health and economic crisis. However, our obligation to support the disadvantaged remains, and the children we help are facing an even greater crisis than in 2019. We hope to increase our original order of 50 with your support. Please pick up a box (or several) from the back of the church and return it filled by no later than Sunday, November 7th. Each box contains a list of needed items, as well as an envelope for the $9 postage. (Postage is NOT required but is appreciated.) Remember all counties served are tropical/subtropical and do not require cold weather clothing.

•Faith Formation: will resume on Wednesday, October 7th at 6:45 pm.
