LOCK PROGRAM
We will be doing our L.O.C.K program to support and encourage the faith of our college-aged young adults again for the 2026-2027 school year. Each month we will be sending out care packages to them.
We need the mailing and email addresses of our college youth. To submit the contact information for your college student, click Here. Our mailings will start in September.
Secondly, we need some parents to help coordinate the mailings from October to March. Contents can be whatever you want- bookmark, prayer card, magnet, gift card, poem, etc….be creative. Parents: pick up the address labels at the Parish office, then take the packaged envelopes to the Post Office to be weighed and shipped. You can bring us your receipt and we will reimburse you as it can get expensive. Please respond to maureenstenger.asp@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer for a month. Thank you!
