Remembering and encouraging our members in college! What is it? This ministry 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. WE NEED STUDENTS’ ADDRESSES: If you have a son or daughter from the parish in college whether living at home or away and would like them to receive a care package, you must give us his or her current mailing address. We can only send the packages to students whose current mailing addresses are given to us. Email, mail or call them into the Youth Ministry Office or drop them into the Sunday Collection basket labeled “College Connection.” You can also submit addresses at www.portyouth.org on the “College Connection” page. There are two ways you can help: Make a $$ donation to help defray the cost of postage to mail these packages. (They can get expensive!) Checks can be made payable to “Youth Ministry” and put in an envelope marked “Youth Ministry-College Connection” and dropped in the collection baskets at either parish or mailed to the Youth Ministry Office. Choose several items and put them in the box in the Church gathering area. Or you may drop off your items at any of the parish offices or St. Peter’s school office—make sure you indicate the items are for College Connection. Examples of appropriate items include microwave popcorn, ramen noodles, granola bars, wrapped candy, prayer cards, etc. 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 November 13-14, 20-21 or 27-28 or deliver your items to either parish office or St. Peter’s School Office by November 29. You are also welcome and invited to help prepare the care packages (sorting, packing, mailing) on Monday, November 29 at 6:30 pm in St. Peter’s Cafeteria. Families are welcome! Great service opportunity for youth! (It’s fun, too). Please contact Maureen Rotramel, Youth Minister, at 262-284-2102 ext. 15 or
portyouth@catholic.org if you have any questions. Thank you for your support!
