In the Spring 2021 our Parish will again support the Kairos Retreat at Dixon Correctional Institute (DCI). The retreat begins Thursday, probably May 2021 and concludes with the closing ceremony on Sunday. We are asking that you help. And it’s never too early to start!!
As Our Lord challenges us in a Corporal Work of Mercy to “visit the imprisoned”, we may not be able to do this in person, but we can do the work of the Lord through our outreach in supporting those imprisoned who are attending the Kairos Retreat.
I will be glad to accept any of your donations whenever is convenient and you have them ready. I have a large “empty” freezer ready to receive your cookies. If you need the cookies “guidelines” please see the links above.
And cards and letters – perhaps as a family, or in a group activity – writing a few each week, these really add up. Again, I can pick them up whenever you have them ready.
I will be delivering our donations to the directors 3 days before the retreat, so let’s get started!!! I pray that we can surpass our previous efforts to show that our parish is always “Centered on Christ, and Ablaze With Love!”.
My email is [email protected] or, if you have any questions or need something picked up, please call me at (504) 858-5192.
Thank you again,
God bless,
Jackie Appleton
