Our kids are off at college and we want them to know our parish is thinking about them … so we invite you to participate in our very popular Luv n’ Care care packages! Besides the religious items the parish includes, we fill the care packages with things like: popcorn packets, hot cereal packets, candy, granola bars, gum, tic tacs, hot chocolate packets, instant apple cider packets, fruit roll ups, kraft mac and cheese bowls, ramen noodles, unscented toiletry items — items provided by you… their parents — you get the idea!

We need all hands on deck when we gather together in Stapleton Hall on the evening of Thursday,  September 21 at 7pm for fellowship, note writing, package assembly and prayer for our young adults who are receiving the packages!

We need you to bring 75 of the item you choose to donate.  Note what you are bringing when you sign up so that others can see!

I will get the shipping boxes and do the shipping labels. We provide a couple of religious items from the church. I will also have an enclosure that will have room for those in attendance to jot some personal notes to those kids they know!To enroll your son or daughter in the 2023-2024 program,

Then, please send a check for $40 made out to St. Aloysius to defray the cost of the mailing of the packages no later than September 12, along with their name/college address. THE FEE OF $40 COVERS TWO MAILINGS! Please do not email me – send your check to register with this info!  Our program this year will include two mailings and in addition, Youth Ministry/Clergy will send some communication.  If your student is international, you are welcome to come join us, provide treats and take the package to mail on your own – we do not need to collect $40.Looking forward to seeing you!

And SHHHH … this is a secret for our college students!!
