Our parish collects nonperishable food and paper products such as Kleenex, paper towels and toilet paper in the church vestibule. Each month the donations are given to area parish food pantries for distribution to our brothers and sister in need. During the summer months, all food donations are given to Catholic Charities in Cicero, St. Barbara’s in Brookfield and St. Agatha’s in Chicago.

Items requested for the month of May include: canned chicken, tuna, stew, chili (protein), canned fruit, canned vegetables, rice, pasta noodles, ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, pasta sauce, cereal, peanut butter, jelly, cooking oil, sugar, flour, powdered milk, tea, juice, personal care items, and soap.
