St. Paul’s Advent Charity – 2022

Let’s Support Each Other with a Gift of Giving

For this years Advent charity St. Paul’s will be co-operating with the SOLIDARNOŚĆ RODZIN program (“Solidarity of Families“) which is run by an NGO called the SOLIDARITY NETWORK ASSOCIATION located in Krakow, Poland.  The goal of the organization is to provide a long-term support program for Ukrainian families affected by the war, specifically for those families that have stayed in Ukraine because they are unable to leave.

At this time, we are NOT looking for donations of clothes or household appliances/items.

Items that we are collecting:

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Sweets
  • Nuts/Dried Fruits
  • Chocolate
  • Nutella
  • Canned/Jarred Jams
  • Canned Poppy Seeds
  • Canned Cold Meat or Fish (must be vacuum packed and long lasting)
  • Dried Mushrooms
  • Pasta Products
  • Oat Flakes
  • Thermoses for Drinks
  • Flashlights
  • Batteries
  • Candles
  • Napkins

How the Items will be Collected:  These items can be brought to Mass on November 13th & 20th, and after collecting they will be delivered to the organization in Krakow.   Individuals will be standing on the side of the church before the Noon Mass (from 11:00) with boxes where products can be placed.  For the Evening Mass, there will be a box inside of the church (it will be announced prior to mass).

How do we further come together as a parish from different cultures?

How can we communicate and further integrate with our faith as a community?

Join us for a brief opening summary of the main takeaways from our dialogue meetings hosted by Synod Project Leader Ewa Pawłowska followed by an open idea discussion of actions we can take as a parish community in shared faith.
