FOOD SHELF COLLECTION FOR ASCENSION
We will continue to collect food all month long to assist with the desperate need for food. If you would like to make a $ donation to put towards the purchase of food please place it in marked ASCENSION FOOD DRIVE envelope. Make checks to CTK and in memo put Ascension Food Drive.
Needed items: (They are requesting items in small packaging to serve more families)
LIST OF MOST NEEDED ITEMS
Please note the location change for the Food Drive. We have moved to the open area by the staircase. Those tables will stay up for donation to be placed there and will be picked up each weekend.
With the current situation, families have fear of going out. They are not visiting the food shelf. We are going to help with delivering bags of food to the families. If you are interested in helping with these efforts please contact Janell to sign up.
SUNDAY NURSERY IS ALMOST HERE
Thanks to some wonderful parish volunteers, including from the Saints Men’s Club, our repairs are complete and the final items are being set up for our Nursery Care! We are so blessed to have had these folks take on the task of finishing our space so that our toddlers can have a safe place to be during our 9 am Masses. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST OUR NURSERY CARE STAFF PERSON IF WE WANT TO BE OPEN! Please contact Erin O’Leary, Director of Discipleship to help. Please watch for more information on our opening and check out these photos!

Social Justice Team News
History of Racism Follow-up: For those who were unable to attend the very informative presentation on March 9, we have a number of leftover folders which contain a wealth of resources and information sheets on the evidence of ongoing systemic racism education, employment, housing, health care, policing, incarceration, state and federal policies, with thanks to the St. Odilia Racial Equity Ministry. There are also bookmarks from the CTK Social Justice Team with the Principles of Catholic Social Teaching. Feel free to pick up these items on the table outside the library. Questions - contact mcolbert712@gmail.com
Watch the bulletin for details of a follow-up presentation in late May or early June, looking at specific actions our parish can take to combat racism. We have invited Professor David Williard to return this spring or next fall. Questions - contact ann.sittig@state.mn.us
Action Steps: Each week we will highlight some of the action steps from the folder. The Antiracism Collective in Edina facilitates meaningful conversations and policy change to strategically dismantle structural racism and hate. They offer a variety of resources for learning about racism, fostering dialogue, and taking action against systemic racism. Check out their calendar for events and actions.
