Corpus Christi Food Drive

Due to the unprecedented request for assistance from Catholic Charities food pantries and in order to fulfill our obligations to the poor, Bishop Serratelli has authorized a Diocesan-wide food collection in all parishes and agencies on the Feast of Corpus Christi, Saturday/Sunday, June 17-18! St. Cecilia Church has been asked to donate cookies, crackers, and facial tissue.

In response to Bishop's call to help those in need in our Diocesan community, DMA's third grade class has decided to organize a school-wide food collection. Please send your donation to school no later than Friday, June 16th. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
