St. John Paul II Parish will be hosting a Food Drive the weekend of November 23 & 24. Bins will be located at the church entrances. As the holidays are fast approaching, many families are in need of basic necessities. Any donations are greatly appreciated, but items needed include: canned soups, canned fruit, canned vegetables, pancake mix & syrup, cereal, pasa sides, rice sides, ketchup, tuna/hamburger helper, pudding, jello, jelly & jams, sloppy joe mix, boxed potatoes, toilet paper, laundry soap, body soap, and toothpaste. Thank you for your contributions!

   Plans are being made to prepare and deliver Thanksgiving meals for those who do not have family or relatives to share the blessings of the day. Food will be prepared the day before Thanksgiving and the morning of at the Bishop Greteman Center. Volunteers will deliver meals at approximately 11:00am on Thanksgiving Day. Sign-up sheets are available in the church entrances for those who wish to help prepare food (bake a turkey, bake a pie, etc.) or help the day before or the day of.
   Also, if you know of someone who would like a meal delivered to them, please call the parish office 792-9244 by Tuesday, November 26.
