Thank you for your wonderful response to our Syrian family that we are sponsoring through Catholic Charities! Click HERE for more background.
Because of your generosity, we have been able to fulfill their immediate needs for furniture and appliances! We received so many donations that we were able to provide furniture and appliances for four other refugee families under the care of Catholic Charities.
If you would still like to donate furniture and appliance items for other refugee families, please submit forms to the offertory collection, the Parish Office, or via email or mail. We are pleased that Brother Benno’s wants to partner with us in helping deliver these items to the refugee families.
Remember that our suggested list includes many other ways you can be of help to this family besides monetary donations.
Please do not drop any items off at the Parish Office. As the forms are submitted, you will be contacted about the next drop-off date to STM.
This family still has many ongoing practical needs and expenses. Please check the options below for details. We will update you periodically on how your monetary donations have been used. (Most refugee families become self-sufficient after about eight months.)
Thanks again!
