Lenten Almsgiving

March 24, 2018 - March 25, 2018

Lenten Almsgiving

Charity is a frequent and important theme of the Gospels. As individual members of Mary Queen, each of us is called to focus more closely on almsgiving during Lent. Almsgiving is the outward action of donating money or goods to the poor as a reflection of your love for Jesus. This year during Lent we are asking every person/family to donate the following items to our Food Pantry. When you come to Mass each weekend please place the items in the Food Pantry Donation Box located in the church narthex.

March 24th/25th Toilet Paper, Shampoo, Dish Soap, Laundry Soap
Holy Thursday See information below

Holy Thursday Offering
Remember the Poor and Homeless

If you will be attending Holy Thursday Mass, please bring a zip lock bag filled with personal care items. The bags will be brought forward during the offertory. The Mary Queen Food Pantry will take them to the homeless in Galveston. If you are unable to donate during the Holy Thursday Mass, you may place your bags in the donation boxes located in the church narthex and across from the Youth Room in the Parish Center.

Suggested items include: shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, disposable razor, shaving cream, tissues, feminine hygiene items, lip balm, hand towel, deodorant and wipes. Please label the bags male or female.
