Water with Blessings and St Benedict's Shelter Lenten Project
The 2021 Lenten Season has begun and we will once again support the expansion of Water Women with Water with Blessing in Kenya. New for this year, we will answer the call to help St. Benedicts Shelter in Owensboro Ky. St Benedicts is not only a homeless shelter for men but they also have a Day Center for women and children, a home for pregnant women in crisis and they operate 4 transitional homes for veterans and men recovering from substance abuse.
Our first fundraiser of selling cinnamon rolls was a great success! Thank you to everyone who participated. Beginning this Sunday we will have our Water with Blessing Buckets avialable for you to easily drop in and relieve the heavy burden of change in your pockets and purses every weekend! Feel free to drop a donation in anytime. Coming up in March we will start collecting items requested by St Benedcits shelter and for the Women and Children Day Center. Below is the list of items requested. Please feel free to bring to Mass anytime in March and place in the baskets as you enter church.
Men's Flip Flops, Mesh Laundry bags, Dollar store "cheat" reading glasses, Winter gloves and sock caps
Snacks such as granola bars, peanut butter or cheese crackers, pop tarts, etc., Sports bras, women's and children panties, femine products, Coffee for the center
