Our Spring Showers produced more than 300 items and $110 in cash and gift cards for The Catherine McCauley Center. Likewise, 240 items and gift cards were given to Care Net. Both organizations sent notes to thank our generous parishioners.

Dear Friends at St Pius,
You guys blew us away! You gave us such a wonderful baby shower with the perfect items for our Baby Boutique! I wish you could see how excited the moms were to have so many beautiful new items to be able to get with the Cre Net Cash they earned from their Mommy Classes. Thank you for caring about families and babies in our community and for serving the Lord in this practical way. Mt 25:40 "Whatever you've done for the least of these, you've done for me!" Blessing,
Laura Squier, Care Net of Montrose

Dear Saint John Vianney Parish Community,
We would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to you and to the members of the community of Saint John Vianney Parish for your generous support of the Catherine McAuley Center through your Spring Shower donation drive. The diapers and baby care products, cleaning supplies, bed linens, towels, and the many different household items you purchased and donated may seem like basic necessities to many of us, but they are luxuries for the homeless families we see and work with every day. Your hard work and generous donations will help to ease the burden of homelessness and poverty for the women and children we serve. ...Please know that your donations will be present in the lives of the homeless women and children who find warmth and comfort through the Catherine McAuley Center.
Sincerely,
Sr Therese Marques, RSM / Executive Director
Jenny Blanchard / Development Coordinator
