The Annual Parish Lenten Service Day is Saturday, March 21 from 9:00am to 12:00pm in the St. Anne Room of the Holy Family Hall. Parishioners of all ages are encouraged to take part in an awesome morning of community service, which begins with a continental breakfast and prayer. All you need to participate is care and concern for our sisters and brothers in need, and enthusiasm. Together, we will accomplish great things.
Here is what we’ll be doing:
Sani-pads – Putting together sani-pad kits for young ladies in Africa.
Blessing Bags – Sorting and packaging hygiene products for distribution to Detroit-area organizations that serve the homeless.
Plastic mats for the Homeless – Cutting plastic grocery bags into strips, which are then rolled into balls of “plarn” to be crocheted into mats.
Sandwiches – Make and deliver 200 sandwiches for ChristNet
Comfort Cards – Decorating cards for residents of area nursing homes and soup kitchens.
ChristNet Lunch Ministry – Decorating lunch bags with positive messages for the monthly lunch ministry.
Fleece Blankets – Cozy blankets will be cut and tied for the residents of several local nursing home facilities.
The materials we need for these projects are attached to the cross in the Narthex starting on Ash Wednesday. Please take a tag or two and return the items below the cross or to the Parish office by Friday, March 20.
Sewing experience is not required, although we do need people with a sewing machine.
In order to prepare a place for everyone, we need to know who is participating in our Service Day. To register call the parish office at 313-436-0201 or email Therese at ttardiff@qvdomine.org
