Easter Basket Ministry Donations Needed
Every Easter Season, St Mary’s reaches out to help those in need. Our mission is to bring joy and love to the children in our community. The Easter Basket Ministry donates Easter Bags filled with items such as books, coloring books, stuffed animals, and wrapped candy to Morning Star Mission, Daybreak Shelter and Plainfield Food Pantry.
We would greatly appreciate your monetary donation to help purchase the items needed to fill the Easter Bags.
Donations can be made online through our parish website at smip.org/easterbaskets through March 28th.
If you prefer to donate with cash or check (payable to SMI), please place your envelope labeled with your name and the title “Easter Baskets” in the collection basket during Mass, or bring your donation to our Commons Receptionist during open hours through March 28.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
