Thank you to everyone who responded to our call for volunteers to serve LaPlace last Friday. This week we are turning our attention to St. Ann's in Bourg, Louisiana. After contacting the parish, we've learned that there is a great need for cleaning supplies to help address the black mold issue. So we are hosting a supply drive beginning today (9/15) and ending Friday (9/17) for the following items only:
- N95 Masks
- Work Gloves
- Bleach
- Mold specific cleaners (i.e. Moldex, Mold Armor)
- Large plastic totes for storing items rescued from flooded homes.
- Home Depot gift cards
Items can be dropped off at the Parish Office today (Wednesday) and Thursday between 9 a.m.-3 p.m. or Friday between 9 a.m.-noon. Supplies can also be left in the Church vestibule today or tomorrow evening when they Church is open for regularly scheduled Confessions, Mass and adoration.
Please only donate items from the above list. No food or clothing has been requested at this time. Supplies will be delivered on Saturday, September 18 when generous St. Benilde parishioners travel to cook and provide lunch for the St. Ann community.

Regrettably, we have decided to cancel our September 25, 2021 Supper and Substance. Couples who have already registered will be contacted regarding reimbursement in the near future. We hope to reschedule at another date in the near future.
