Remembering and encouraging our members in college! College Connection is our way of communicating with the college students from our parishes. This communication happens twice a year and involves sending a “shoe box care package” to our students before exam time each semester.
There are two ways you can help:
1. Make a $$ donation to help defray the cost of postage to mail these packages. Checks can be made payable to “Youth Ministry” and put in an envelope marked “Youth Ministry-College Connection” and drop it in the collection baskets at either parish or mailed to the Youth Ministry Office.
2. Choose several items below and bring them to Church with you on the weekends of April 23-24 and April 30-May 1 and put them in the box in the gathering area. Or you may drop off your items at either parish office or St. Peter’s school office-make sure you indicate the items are for College Connection.
Appropriate Items Include: Wrapped Candy, Gum, mints, Individually wrapped cookies, Snack size crackers & cheese, Kool Aid/Crystal Light, Coffee, tea or cocoa packets, Snack size chips and pretzels, Pop Tarts, Granola bars/Fruit bars, Microwave popcorn, Stickers and Stamps, Raisins, trail mix, Fruit roll ups, Cup of soup, Ramen, Dried Fruit, Instant cereal packets, Prayer Cards, Individual Kleenex, Highlighters, pens, pencils, Use your imagination!!!
Please AVOID: Any heavy items, perishable items, items larger than a shoebox, or any medications.
Please drop off items at Church on the weekends of April 23-24 and April 30-May 1 or deliver your items to either parish office or St. Peter’s School Office by May 2nd.
You are also welcome and invited to help prepare the care packages (sorting, packing, mailing) on Monday, May 2 at 6:00 p.m. in St. Peter’s Cafeteria. Families are welcome! Great service opportunity for youth! (It’s fun, too) Please call Maureen Kavanaugh, Youth Minister, at 262-284-2102 ext. 15 if you have any questions. More information is also soon be available at the Youth Ministry web site www.portyouth.org. Thank you for your support!
