Jr. ACRY Project
The National Junior ACRY has taken it upon itself to help aid the Diocesan mission of Saint John the Compassionate located in Toronto, Canada. This decision was made by the National Jr. ACRY at the National ACRY Convention held this past Labor Day Weekend.
The National Juniors are inviting all parishes, Church school classes, and other parish organizations to aid in this endeavor by providing for the needs of others through this diocesan mission during this season of the Great Fast (Lent).
Our Junior Chapter is sponsoring the Coffee Hour the whole month of March in order to help raise funds for the mission. Please likewise keep the mission in your daily Lenten prayers. Prayer and generosity of spirit can overcome the needs of many.
