HELP FOR ST. ANNE’S PRIMARY SCHOOL, KINGSTON JAMAICA - During our visit in January to our Sister
Parish in Kingston, Jamaica, several parishioners worked at the St. Anne’s Primary School, Grades 2-6. The
school is lacking in the most basic supplies and learning materials. We have asked the teachers and
administrators for a list of supplies that would be most beneficial to their efforts. We are organizing a
drive to fulfill the list comprised of games, arts and crafts supplies and sets of books with Audio CD’s.
We are asking parishioners to select an “egg” from the table at the back of the church with the name of
an item or money to purchase needed items. Please contact Jim Carroll with questions or further information at
mcsonejc@aol.com or 617-327-4519. We would appreciate your bringing the items by Sunday, April 6th. Thank
you!

OUTREACH MINISTRIES
FIVE WEEKS AND COUNTING! Registration materials for the May 4th
40th Project Bread Walk for Hunger are on the Outreach Table in the
gathering space and on bulletin boards at church entrances. Registration
papers for volunteers are on the table. Online registration (for walkers
and volunteers) can be done at www.projectbread.org. Forms for monetary
sponsoring will be on the table next weekend; that can also be done online.
WE KNOW YOU’RE OUT THERE! Each year, many parishioners participate in the Walk
for Hunger with friends, family and co-workers. Since they do so, the rest of the parish
family has no idea just how many parishioners take part in this huge effort, aside from
those who comprise TEAM IGNATIUS. We’d like to know who you are!
Please, if you
would, sign your name to the poster at the Walk display in the gathering space. Just
imagine how many miles and/or hours of volunteer service are completed by St. Ignatius
members!

over 250 pair of socks and many, many pairs of flip-flops to BHCHP. To learn more about
BHCHP, go to www.bhchp.org.
