2021 ANNUAL BISHOP'S APPEAL Last week our parish joined parishes throughout the Diocese of Youngstown in asking every Catholic family to support the 2021 Annual Bishop's Appeal. The Appeal is the primary funding source for Catholic Charities in the six counties of our diocese. Especially as we continue to weather the effects of the pandemic, there has been an increase in the number of needy persons coming to Catholic Charities for help, and they depend on our support of the Bishop's Appeal.

More information on the Bishop's Appeal is avaailable in the Weekly Bulletin.

K OF C FOOD FOR FAMILIES LENTEN FOOD DRIVEThe Knights of Columbus will be conducting their Lenten food drive, "Food for Families", beginning Ash Wednesday, February 17. Due to the pandemic, however, we will not be asking for can/box items, but will graciously accept gift cards to a local Grocery store, in any amount. The gift cards will be sent to Catholic Charities of Portage County to be given to those in need.

Please place your gift card(s) in an envelope marked "Food for Families" and deliver them to the parish in any of the following ways:
