Each year, it has been the tradition of our parish community to join together for a common Lenten Alms offering to assist others in need. This Lent, we are undertaking to local projects with our mission partner the South Brevard Sharing Center (SBSC). First up will be a collection of much-needed toiletry items and household items. Bags with lists of contents to be added will be available beginning next weekend, March 29/30. The bags are to be returned by April 5/6.
Secondly, along the way, we invite you to gradually put aside funds to help SBSC purchase a new commercial refrigerator. We bought them a new one a couple of years ago, but now due to increased perishable food distributions, they are underequipped to preserve what they are receiving and offering to families in need. The are currently forced to use small, household refrigerators, which cannot handle the capacity and are energy costly. This alms project will culminate with a second collection at all Masses on Palm Sunday weekend, April 12/13.
