Fair Trade Sale
The St. Cloud Mission Office is proud to be able to support our global brothers and sisters through selling their goods at a just wage and fair price, as well as be able to sell beautiful local crafts to support the work of mission.
We will have chocolates, coffee, & tea available to purchase after Masses the weekends of Nov 30/Dec 1 & Dec 7/8.
Giving Tree
We will have one tree set up at each location. The ornaments on the trees include a tag that gives the name of a charity and the item needed for that charity. Return the unwrapped items to either location with the charity tag attached by January 5. You can also support this Outreach project by placing an envelope in the weekly offering marked Giving Tree.
Youth Bake Sale
Our youth will be having their annual bake sale fundraiser after all Masses the weekend of Dec 14/15. Stop by the hall after Mass, purchase a plate, and fill it up with delicious treats to take home!
