An essential dimension of the Lenten season is almsgiving. We have three opportunities planned to support parish and local groups who support the poor and vulnerable +

 1) February 21 & 22: Monetary Collection for the Red Door. 
The Resurrection Ladies of Charity will collect monetary donations after all Masses for this ministry that serves the homeless in Pittsburgh.

 2) March 7 & 8: The Blessing Board Collection.
We will collect new and gently used towels, full and queen sized sheets, pillowcases and blankets (PLEASE NO KING SIZE). We also will collect kitchen supplies (glassware, dishes, cookware). All will be distributed to those in need by the Blessing Board.

 3) March 21 & 22: St. Vincent DePaul Clothing Drive. 
Our parish SVP continues to serve those in need by collecting donations of shoes and clothing at all Masses.

See the bulletin  for more details.
