Saint John the Guardian of Our Lady Parish

Thank you so much to all our 8th level students who participated in our 'Fill That Truck' campaign at St. John's. We were able to fill that truck with at least 70 bags of food items that will go to benefit families in need. A special thank you to our 8th level catechists, Janice Donahue, Diane Melanson, and Carol O'Malley for their help in this project as well! Thank you too all those who donated food items to this very special event!

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul will be collecting non-perishable food items for their annual Thanksgiving Basket Food Drive. Last year approximately 50 individuals and families were assisted because of your generosity. Collection Bins are located at all the entrances to the church. The Society’s members and those we serve, appreciate your kindness. 

Clinton Council #1701 of the Knights of Columbus will be colleting coats for our annual “Coats for Kids” program. New or gently used coats are requested. Collection will be on all Saturdays in October from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at St. John’s Gym. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Distribution will be on Saturday, November 2.
