The St. Damians Altar Sodality Mexican Fish Fry.
A big THANK YOU to all who helped with the Mexican Fish Fry. Your help made a difference to make this event a success. Many hands make light work! Thanks also for the donations from El Arado Mexican Restaurant, Dairy King, 7 West, Fermin Herrara and his family for 100 tamales, and Buzz Seelhoefer and Kevin Zurliene. There was certainly a big crowd. We served 462 plates which is 77 less than last year, and we are on track for a profit of $8,500 for the St. Damian Ladies Sodality organization. Thanks again for all your help. Mark your calendars, next year the potential date will be February 5, 2027.

ST. DAMIAN & ST. BERNARD LENTEN FOOD DRIVE. Lent is just around the corner. A great way to observe the season is by performing sacrifices like corporals works of mercy. Our Faith Formation programs will be offering the opportunity to feed the hungry. We will once again have a food drive for the Cairo Community and the Diocesan Daystar Program. Rather than dropping off bags and asking you to fill them up for us to pick up, we are asking that you either drop off the items in church, send to school with a Faith Formation Student, or drop off at Jackie Toennies’ house. Of course, you are welcome to donate any non-perishable food item but those most needed at this time are canned chicken, Hamburger helper, cornbread mix, oatmeal, protein bars, boxed potatoes of any sort, crackers. If you plan to participate, please bring your donation by March 30. Thank you for feeding the poor!
