Holiday Outreach

Special Thanksgiving food boxes and turkeys are distributed to our pantry patrons. The Queen of Peace Guild has purchased turkeys and packed the boxes for over twenty years. Last year we gave away 80 boxes. Every year we have a parish wide Thanksgiving food drive on the second weekend of November. Several volunteers are needed to collect and sort the donations. If you are interested in helping, contact Adrienne Timm. Slots fill up quickly.

We distribute special Christmas food boxes with hams each year, on the Saturday before Christmas, with help from the St. Therese the Little Flower Guild. We also have an adopt-a-family program for gifts to the needy in our area. Money and gift cards are always appreciated during the holidays. If you would like to learn more details, contact Adrienne Timm.

St. Paul of the Cross Mission Statement: As children of God, living in a Catholic community of faith, we are united by the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Aware that all we have is gift and grace from our Heavenly Father, we strive to give of our time, talent and treasure to build His kingdom on earth. We live this mission, challenged by the Word, nurtured by the Sacraments, and enlivened by the Spirit, to serve our brothers and sisters in peace, justice and dignity. All are welcome on this journey.
