Community Ministries is participating in the Back to School Backpack program again this year. Their goal is to provide these much-needed resources to over 200 children in the area. Our parish has been asked to support with shampoo donations. Bottles can be placed in the bins in the church gathering space up until July 14th. If you are looking for a bargain, the shampoos pictured below can be found at Dollar Tree here in Mt. Washington, but any full-sized bottles are appreciated.

Invitations to the next Meet and Greet on July 11th are going out to parishioners who have joined St. Francis Xavier since May 1st. If you registered with SFX before that date but weren’t able to make a previous session, or just still feel like a “new” member, join us on Thursday, July 11th at 7PM in the Lower Parish Hall. There will be light refreshments served while we spend time getting to know one another and learning about all that the SFX community has to offer.

Please RSVP by email (wende.aubrey@sfxmw.com) or phone (502-385-6716) so we can plan accordingly.

Little Sisters of the Poor will be at SFX collecting donations after all masses June 22nd and 23rd.

The Little Sisters of the Poor are an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. Together with a diverse network of collaborators, they serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world. Continuing the work of Saint Jeanne Jugan, their mission is to offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.
