Coats for Kids – November 2023
John Ehlers led a successful campaign to receive donated coats and donate to needy area children. The goal of the Coats for Kids program is to ensure that no
child in North America goes without a coat during the winter season. As Joe Koskol summarized:
“The results of our Council’s first year conducting a Coats for Kids program has proven wildly successful… We collected in total 262 coats and $1929 in cash donations. Everyone providing coats and cash donations this weekend were very happy to participate, with many saying we need to do this every year…
Great job John in proposing, organizing, and leading this program for our council. Your work is very commendable.”
Respect Life Month – October 2023
We held an outdoor rosary at our parish shrine to the unborn.
The Catholic Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month every October. As Catholics we are called to embrace, proclaim, and defend life. Every life is precious and must be loved and protected from conception until natural death.
