Sunflower Seeds Ukraine | Weekend of May 2-3 | Save a Spot in Your Garden

Our wonderful sunflower seeds will once again be available the weekend of May 2-3 after all the Masses. We share the seeds as a way of supporting and remembering our brothers and sisters in Ukraine who continue to live in a war-torn country. We’ll support “Sunflower Seeds Ukraine” a non-profit out of Boulder. Check them out here: https://www.sunflowerseedsukraine.org/

Here to Serve | Tuesday, May 5 | Regis University Food Pantry

Today, there are more neighbors in need than ever, of our support. Looking for a way to serve? Volunteer to help at the Regis University Mobile Food Pantry. This is a wonderful experience to connect to those in need, and get to know other Holy Family parishioners as we have an active volunteer team who serves monthly. The next opportunity to help will be Tuesday, May 5 from 8-11am. Contact Ann if you’d like to carpool. We’ll be outside so dress for the weather.

Pads 4 Dignity | Thank You | Help Pack Pads Wednesday May 6 @ 10am

Thank you for the amazing support of our Pads 4 Dignity Outreach. Recently,  we received and packed 8,582 pads. WOW! These pads have been delivered to Bienvenidos Food Pantry, St Mary Magdalen Food Pantry, South High School Food Pantry, Samaritan House and Regis University Mobile Food Pantry along with other local food pantries. Thank you for helping us meet our goal. We will continue to collect donations of pads and will pack pads on Wednesday, May 6 @10:00am in the parish hall.

  • Bring in a package of feminine hygiene pads and place them in the bin in back of church. If you’re able to package them in bags of 18, all the better.

Please note, do not send in incontinence products which include some products under the brand name: Poise, Tena, Always Discreet, Equate Options, Prevail, Tranquility and Attends. (Check product details.) Although we can find homes for these, our focus is on feminine hygiene products. We had over 500 incontinence products collected this last count.
