It’s that time of year again …
School Days!

We had been so blessed in past years by your generous donations of school supplies, that last year we didn’t need to ask for any help. But unfortunately, this year, we are running low on a few items and we are again turning to you. This year we are in short supply of:

Loose –leaf paper (both college-rule and wide-rule)
Spiral notebooks
Blue-ink and black-ink pens
Pencils

Please leave your donation in the SVDP baskets located at the side doors of the Church and in the kitchen. Thank you for your continued support of this important outreach ministry.
