Please join us for the 8th Annual Blessing of the Backpacks! Although this year is looking a little different from past years, our support of the Broadview-Thomson K-8 Food Program is more important than ever. The BTK-8 Food program serves meals to over 500 children. Let’s continue this special tradition and care for our neighbors.
On Friday, September 18, in conjunction with Jog-a-thon t-shirt pick-up, you can drop off non-perishable food at the school between 1-3pm. More information can be found in the food donation flyer, which was created by the 8th Grade Leadership Team.
Grab your backpack and tune in to the live-streamed Mass on Saturday, September 19, at 5pm. Father Crispin will bless the donations at Mass and your backpacks virtually at home!
