As part of Catholic School’s Week this week, we will be collecting items for Little Sisters of the Poor (through Friday 2/3). We are asking families to donate the following to this wonderful cause:
Pre-K & Kindergarten: Dove Hand Soap
Grades 1 & 2: Boxes of Tissues
Grades 3 & 4: Body Wash
Grades 5 & 6: Toilet Paper
Grade 7 – Hand Lotion
Grade 8 – Body Lotion
The Little Sisters of the Poor are a congregation of Roman Catholic religious women who care for the elderly poor (regardless of faith) with dignity and compassion until God calls them home. In Connecticut, their main residential facility is in Enfield, but their mission covers the entire state. You can read more about their ministry HERE.
