This Lent, help fight hunger by planning to donate to the “40 Cans for Lent” food drive.  The youth of our parishes will be handing out bags to help with the collection at all of the masses on February 22 and 23.

 
This drive is being co-sponsored by Faith Formation, Youth Ministries, and the Knights of Columbus Calvary Council #8144 and St. Maximilian Kolbe Council #11747.
 
We are asking parishioners to contribute one can of food for each day of Lent.  Collection bags will be distributed at all of the Masses on the February 22/23 weekend and donations can be placed in the barrels in the church narthexes.
 
Last year 6,685 pounds of canned goods and packaged food was donated.  This year’s goal is 8,000 pounds.  All proceeds will be donated to the South Portland Food Cupboard.
