Our Holy Thursday Offertory Collection
…will benefit the Dorothy Day Food Pantry and the Cass County Jail Ministry. March is Minnesota Food Share Month, so our cash donations to the Food Pantry can purchase significantly more food that we can on our own and will also bring additional state resources.
The numbers of people needing help from the Food Pantry have never been higher.
Some of our collection money will be used to purchase Catholic reading material for the jail. Deacon Stu Longtin, who was formerly assigned to serve there, will help us select books that focus on helping inmates deepen their faith, find hope and build a better future for themselves and their families. Sheriff Laney’s goal is to help prisoners become better people by the time they leave the jail, and we would like to be part of that work.
