Good Samaritan Fund
Thank you to all who baked for the Holiday Bake Sale. Your generosity is very much appreciated! Verification forms for blue cord hours can be found in the office or you can find them online. A special shout out to Mylee Hageman, Clara Kriener, and Sawyer Timp for helping with the sale at Wild Woods along with Robin Timp and Jennifer Mahoney. We raised $527 to support our Corporal Works of Mercy. These works "are charitable actions by which we help our neighbors in their bodily needs" (USCCA). This is how we are to respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together through this life.
The Good Samaritan Fund for our four parishes was established when Spillville flooded in 2016. The funds have been used to help people rebuild homes, feed their family, pay water bills, heating bills, and also help people purchase gas so they can drive their cars to work each day. God bless your generous heart!
