 Highlights: 

  • Donated over 3,000 pounds of food to Catholic Charities in our 2009 Food Drive
  • Members of our congregation have participated in several mission trips 
  • Leavenworth Habitat for Humanity started as an outreach of our church. House number 6 will begin in 2009. 
  • This is the second year of a Mini-Grant program called DUO (Do Unto Others) which provides up to $150 for materials for projects that benefit others in the community.  Applicants design a project that hopefully will make the $150 grow and provide results WAY beyond the dollar amount!
  • And this is only the tip of the iceberg of things we will do...
