With the arrival of Lent, St Catherine’s of Siena will once again partake in the annual Lenten Mercy Project. During this season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, the St Catherine Church Lenten Mercy Project gives us the opportunity to participate by supporting a variety of organizations that embody the Corporal Works of Mercy. Each weekend during Lent, beginning February 17/18 and continuing through March 23/24, we ask that you consider supporting the identified charity through monetary contributions and/or donation of gift cards (similar to last year, we will not be asking for donations of goods this year, as most charities now prefer cash and gift cards for logistical reasons). Please consider gift cards from grocery stores, Walmart, Target, etc. The six charities will be listed in the Bulletin and on the parish website.

Donation boxes will be in the atrium and vestibule for both monetary and gift card contributions. Note that you may make monetary contributions through Faith Direct. Our first week will be dedicated to Gifts of Love.

Our extraordinary St Catherine’s community has supported these fine organizations for many years through this project, and we hope in this Lenten season you will once again participate in this tradition of helping those in need.
