Boxes are on the table in the Commons.  Please take one home, and whenever you think of one of God's blessings, drop a coin into the box. On May 3, bring your boxes to church to be placed in a special collection to be combined with United Thank Offerings (UTO) from other parishes across the country. In the past, these monies have built churches, made renovations, fed the hungry, clothed the poor, and provided shelter for the homeless. This offering is a wonderful way for all ages and families to praise God for His amazing love for us!
