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 our community. For those who want to donate cash, the Knights will use it to purchase bulk items. There are some shelters that cook full meals and we would be able to supply them with the bulk ingredients for those meals.
