Easter Baskets for Foster Kids
Saint Gabriel's has been assisting Fostering Hope, a program that provides support to Foster care families in El Paso county for the past 15 years.  We think we can do more.  We would like to provide Easter baskets for the 70 youths currently in the Foster care system and supported by Fostering Hope.  We will have a table in the narthex starting March 12 to sign up for providing Easter basket items to create age based baskets to show we care.  Please consider contributing as you are able.  If you don't want to sign up to provide specific items, we will accept monetary donations to purchase needed items.  Our parishioners have always shown great generosity and caring to those in need.  Thank you in advance for your help with this new effort.

Second Collection Next Weekend
A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Ukraine as attacks of war put millions of lives at risk. Innocent families, women, girls, and the elderly will suffer most.  In our Diocese we have a unique opportunity to help refugees in Poland.  Our Diocese is working directly with the Diocese of Tarnow, Poland. The Diocese of Tarnow has requested that the parish halls in each of their parishes be turned into shelters to house refugees. We are confident that 100% of our collections will go to directly help the refugees who are being helped by the Catholic parishes in Tarnow. We will be taking a special second collection on March 19 and 20 to go directly to help Ukrainian Refugees in Poland.  We are grateful for your generosity.
