How Can You Help our Youth?
1) Turn in your receipts! SpartanNash receipts from Family Fare Supermarket and D&W stores can be placed in the basket on the youth table in the narthex and can help the youth earn $1,000! (For a receipt to be eligible, you must be a Family Fare savings card member and "Direct Your Dollars" will be printed at the bottom of your receipt.)
2) Bottles & Cans! These can be left by the rectory/parish garage and will be returned by the youth group. Thank you!
3) Scrap Metal! This is our biggest fundraiser. Please drop it off in the NE corner of the parking lot or contact us to pick it up from you.
Our Youth Ministry team runs on the generous support of parishioner donations. These donations help with Catholic Heart Work Camp (CHWC), National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC), retreats, and field trips to basilicas, cathedrals, convents, etc. Your generosity is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
