Here are our food assistance stats since the beginning of the pandemic:

Thank you to Anita, Brenda, Frances, Vikki, Paula, Lois, Dan, Christine, Julie, Marie, Kathy and so many  volunteers for your generous time during this difficult time.  Thanks also for the generous assistance of our food donors who have faithfully provided a wide variety of food donations to keep us stocked and functioning.

Please do not leave WeCare gifts-in-kind at the church or parish office. 

If you have clothes you would like to donate, please do not leave them at the office or in the back of church. Rather, kindly get in touch with Family Promise, Coalition for Human Care, Habitat for Humanity or GoodWill for their hours and drop off locations. 

"Abba, Father, open my heart
to receive hope 
even while I suffer 
to receive patience and 
to trust in Your will 
even if I don't understand it
at the moment. "

 - Rev. John A Kane

Oración por el sufrimiento.
  "Abba, Padre, abre mi corazón
  para recibir esperanza,
  incluso mientras sufro
  recibir paciencia y
  confiar en tu voluntad,
  incluso si no la entiendo
  en este momento.  "
   - Rev. John A Kane

All parents – including those whose 7^th/8^th graders attend St. John Paul II Catholic School, AND all those whose children are home-schooled, need to ENROLL their sons/daughters as CANDIDATES  for Confirmation. [Note: Sacramental prep in the Diocese of Raleigh is a TWO year program.]
