Holiday Outreach

Each year, special Thanksgiving food boxes and turkeys are distributed to our food pantry patrons. The Queen of Peace Guild has generously purchased the turkeys and packed the boxes for over twenty years. This distribution is possible through our annual parish wide Thanksgiving food drive during the second weekend of November. A few volunteers are  needed to collect and sort the donations.

We also distribute special Christmas food boxes with hams each year on the Saturday before Christmas, with help from the St. Therese the Little Flower Guild. And along with this special food distributions we  organize an adopt-a-family program to provide Christmas gifts to the needy in our area.


Monetary and gift card donations are always appreciated during the holidays to cover the cost of these outreach programs. If you are interested in volunteering, or donating to these special distributions, or would like to learn more please contact Adrienne Timm.

St. Paul of the Cross Mission Statement: As children of God, living in a Catholic community of faith, we are united by the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Aware that all we have is gift and grace from our Heavenly Father, we strive to give of our time, talent and treasure to build His kingdom on earth. We live this mission, challenged by the Word, nurtured by the Sacraments, and enlivened by the Spirit, to serve our brothers and sisters in peace, justice and dignity. All are welcome on this journey.
