40 Cans for Lent

Once again the Knights of Columbus are asking every parishioner to contribute one can of food for each of the 40 days of Lent. The food will be donated to local charities. Bring in your canned goods and leave them in the red wagon in front of the church or downstairs by the grotto. This Lent, help people in your community while also helping your council. The Knights distributed 4,000 of food last year!! Cash donations will be used to purchase what is needed.
