Upcoming Events

Shoe Collection for Refugee Children

On the weekends of August 24-25 and August 31-September 1, the Social Concerns Commission will have a collection for refugee children. We will be collecting new school shoes and gift cards for Target, Marshall's, or Walmart. The donations will be provided to refugee children attending the following schools in Cleveland:

  • International Newcomers Academy
  • Metro Catholic
  • St. Stanislaus

The shoe sizes the schools are looking for are youth sizes 1-5 and adult sizes 6-9.

The children will be wearing the shoes the whole school year, including winter, so buy a pair of shoes appropriate for the whole school year, such as gym shoes. No sandals or canvas shoes, please.

Place your donations in the bins in the gathering area at church on the weekends of August 24-25 and August 31-September 1.

Next Meeting (New Date)

Thursday September 5 at 6:30 PM in the parish office.

Note the new meeting date. This meeting is a week earlier than usual.
