Continuing our parish tradition, the Saints Simon and Jude Outreach Ministry will host a weekly donation drive throughout Lent. Your almsgiving supports local charitable organizations by providing the essential supplies they need to continue their mission and care for our neighbors in need.

Collections will take place before and after every weekend Mass. If you feel called to make a monetary donation, please scan the QR Code. Thank you for your generosity!

Fifth Sunday of Lent: March 21-27

Loaves and Fishes: Serves approximately 300 unhoused and food-insecure individuals and families by distributing food twice each month. We’re supporting our neighbors in need by donating essential food items to help sustain them with dignity and care.

• Pinto Beans (4lb bags)
• White Rice (5lb bags)
• Peanut Butter (48 oz)
• Jam (any size, strawberry preferred)
• Canned Tuna (any size)
• Mayonnaise (30 oz size)
• Cardboard Canisters of Quaker Oats
• Boxes of Macaroni & Cheese

As we journey through Lent and hear the call to Return to the Father, we are reminded that coming home to His mercy must change the way we live. Scripture teaches that faith without action is dead. If we are truly returning to the Father, our faith must move us to care for our brothers and sisters in their physical needs, reflecting His compassion through concrete acts of love.
