Time to purge your closets and collect any clean, gently used winter coats, jackets, and snowsuits for our annual coat drive January 18th through January 26th. Don’t forget any winter accessories like mittens, gloves, scarves, and hats too! **Please put mittens or gloves in a plastic bag so they don’t get separated.**

Besides these donations, we purchase many new coats at greatly reduced prices in late January, thanks to the money raised through cash contributions and the BAKE SALE!! The sign-up sheets for the Bake Sale will be in the Gathering Area January 11-12th and the baked goods will be available after all the masses January 18th and 19th. If you want to make a cash donation specifically for the Coat Drive, there are envelopes on the credenzas in the Gathering Area.

Thanks to your past generosity, our parish has kept the Be a Buddy Coat Drive going since 2007 and has donated over 24,000 coats! Who knew back then that something started to honor the memory of one generous man, Bud Hassien, would allow the generous spirit in so many people to produce such great results!
