As we approach Thanksgiving, there are many families who are unable to put together a traditional Thanskgiving meal. With that in mind, parishioners worked together to make a more joyful celebration for others. Students in our Relgious Formation Program, Sacred Heart Preschool and St. Columbkille Catholic School donated food items.
On Friday some of our 8th grade students transported these items to the Social Level.
Saturday those items were joined with Turkeys and some more food bought from the Thanksgiving Meals collection after Mass earlier this month as well as some generous parish organizations.
These were then sorted to be boxed in groups.
Last night families gathered to deliver the assembled items. They were given instructions and prayed before they got to work.
Food was supplied to over 1,000 people in over 300 families. Our parishioners delivered all of the food in a few short hours not just to people in Papillion and La Vista, but to families from Gretna to Bellevue and even Springfield.
Thank you to all our good stewards!
