SUMMARY:Lenten Outreach
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nCollections 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! \n\n\n\nFirst Sunday of Lent:  February 21-22 \n\n\n\nRobyne’s Nest: Supports at-risk and homeless students by providing essentials. We’re filling 900 grocery bags for students without access to school pantries during Spring Break. \n\n\n\nPasta & Grains: Pasta\, pasta sauce\, mac & cheese box mix\, mac & cheese cups\, ramen\, rice (up to 5 lb. bags)\, oatmeal (multi-packs)\, cereal (large boxes)\, pancake mix\, syrup. \n\n\n\nCanned & Shelf-Stable Proteins: Canned chicken\, tuna\, or Spam\, canned soup or chili\, canned vegetables\, peanut butter & jelly\, cracker/tuna packs\, cracker/chicken salad packs. \n\n\n\nFruits & Snacks: Canned fruits and fruit cups\, Jell-O\, pudding cups\, granola bars\, beef jerky or Slim Jim’s\, pretzels (single-serving bags)\, trail mix or nut packs (multipacks)\, crackers (peanut butter\, cheese\, Cheez-Its\, Club crackers\, Saltines). \n\n\n\nGift Cards: Stater Bros\, Grocery Outlet\, Aldi\, or Northgate. \n\n\n\nThe story of the prodigal son reminds us that the longing for home is written on every human heart. Yet in our own community\, many long for a different kind of home altogether. While most of us will never know what it means to live without safety or shelter\, too many\, especially children and youth\, face homelessness or the daily fear of becoming unhoused. \n\n\n\nFor questions or more information\, please email Louise Nakamine: lnakamine@ssj.org

SUMMARY:Family Faith Night
DESCRIPTION:Family Faith Night: Dinner\, Fellowship\, and Formation\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE to RSVP! \n\n\n\nWe are here to walk alongside parents and families in every step of their faith journey. A child’s earliest and most meaningful experience of God’s love\, provision\, and forgiveness begins at home\, where faith is nurtured through everyday family life. \n\n\n\nModeled after the Holy Family\, Catholic families are called to be the living Church in the world—sharing Christ’s love through daily witness and fostering faith within their homes. \n\n\n\nFamily Faith Nights bring this calling to life by gathering families for a shared meal\, joyful fellowship\, and faith formation. Together\, parents and children encounter Christ\, strengthen their relationship with Him\, and deepen their lifelong connection with the Church and parish community.
