Blessing of the Backpacks

Friday, September 13, 8:15am on the School Parking Lot & Sunday, September 15 at 10:30am Mass

The annual Blessing of the Backpacks will take place on Friday, September 13, at 8:15am on the school parking lot and on Sunday, September 15, at the 10:30am Mass. Fr. Parrish will bless the backpacks filled with food to donate. This is a great opportunity for our parish and school families to participate directly in the support of those most in need.  

Broadview-Thomson K-8 School will provide food that goes home with students on weekends, but they no longer have the space to provide the daily food pantry for the school and the community. Please click here for a list of needed foods.

We will divide the food donations between BTK-8 and our St. Vincent de Paul food pantry at St. John. Your support of this food drive is always appreciated!
