On the weekend of September 20th/21st parishes across the archdiocese will take up the annual collection for Catholic higher education. Catholic colleges and universities strive to form students in the spirit of faith and educate them in the richness of the Catholic intellectual tradition. This collection supports the Catholic University of America as well the two Catholic universities in our Archdiocese – Bellarmine University and Spalding University.

Make a donation by using the special collection envelope provided in your mailed bundle or mark a blank envelope as “Catholic Higher Education” and drop in the collection basket at mass.

Our parish will be joining with other local churches in support of a new ministry at the Calvary Christian Center called “Diaper Bank“. This ministry strives to supply diapers, both baby and adult, throughout the year to families in need.

If you would like to donate to this ministry, please place diapers (opened or unopened packages) in the bins in gathering space of church during the month of September.

The flyer below details the mission of this ministry. If you would like to volunteer to help with collection and/or distribution of diapers, you can reach out to Maria Broyles with the Diaper Bank Ministry at mb1959lb@gmail.com.
