A First Ever St. Francis Project: Parish-Wide Alms Giving

The youth of St. Ignatius will be collecting the following items to create Aumonieres; also known as Alms Purses. These purses will be filled with items for our homeless brothers and sister and redistributed to you so that you can pass them out to the homeless you encounter during Lent, helping you practice Almsgiving. The purses will be distributed back to the families of St. Ignatius the weekend of March 21 &22; after all Masses. You may drop off the needed items to the main office during regular office hours.
