JosaFAST: You can drop off Care Bags for Seniors and Careworkers until Noon tomorrow!

Mother's Day Care Bags

Join the St. Josaphat Shelter in Faith Team in providing a Mother's Day treat for the residents and the workers of Symphony (Southport & Fullerton) and the Little Sisters of the Poor St. Mary’s Home (Lakewood between Fullerton and Belden). Would you (and your families) be willing to create a few individual gallon-size zip top “care bags” that we could deliver to brighten their day?

Be creative! Remember that the elderly are missing their families and friends. They are very down emotionally. What can you include to lift their spirits? What would you, your parents or grandparents like? Jokes? Puzzles? A note? A drawing? Sweets?

Ideas for Senior Care Bags

Gallon size zip top bag to contain:

-Personal note of encouragement

-Home-made item like a cookie, brownie or muffin

-Snack packs (pretzels, chips, crackers, candy)

Ideas for Staff Care Bags

Gallon size zip top bag to contain:

-Personal thank you note

-Home-made item like a cookie, brownie or muffin

Please only consider participating if everyone in your family is healthy and free from illness.

If you are interested in helping us, please reach out to parishioners Kelly Smith or Laura Burstein. All care bags should be dropped off at Kelly’s or Laura’s houses by Noon on Friday. Care Bags will be delivered on Friday afternoon in time for Mother's Day.

Little Sisters Needs Paper Goods

Heavenly Father,

We ask you to be with our friends at the Little Sisters of the Poor St. Mary's Home as they go through this difficult time. We implore you to send them your blessings to remain healthy and for those affected to get well soon. Please send your courage to the caregivers so they can continue to serve the elderly residents. Send them your protection and your unending support. We ask you, Father, to help this loving community who has always been so devoted to doing your will. We ask this in your Holy Name. Amen.
