Service
First Saturday Street Ministry
March 4 & April 8
(Note the date change for the second Saturday in April)
On the first Saturday of each month, parishioners help the Sisters of the Poor of Jesus Christ with their ministry to feed the poor. Volunteers serve in one or all the following roles: (1) Donate food; (2) Prepare 11 sack meals, and (3) Deliver the sack meals to the poor across the Kansas City metropolitan area. Parishioners are invited to participate in any or all these activities. Your help is very much appreciated!
St. Mary's Food Kitchen
March 9
Queen volunteers have long supported St. Mary's Food Kitchen. We serve casseroles and side dishes on the second Thursday of each month. St. Mary's has served over 4.5 million meals since it was founded in the basement of St. Mary's Catholic Church at 5th and Ann in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1982. When the church closed in 1997, the food kitchen moved six blocks to the Willamina Gill Multi-Service Center at 645 Nebraska. It is one of the largest in the Kansas City metro, serving lunch to 600 to 700 people, about 20 percent of which are children. About 15 percent are homeless and most of the remaining are unemployed or underemployed. For some, it is the only meal of the day.
Our parishioners help by preparing casseroles to serve for lunch. Look for foil pans for casseroles on the Hospitality Desk the weekend before our day to serve. Drop off casseroles at the southeast doors on Thursday between 7:30-9:00 a.m. Volunteers are especially needed to help serve - please consider taking time to join us in this rewarding ministry. For more information, please call or text Steve Slater at 913-449-8283.
Catholic Charities Food Drive
March 25-26
The Catholic Charities Food Truck will be parked in the south parking lot. Drop off donations from the requested list to our volunteers at the truck. Monetary donations are also welcome, but please do not leave cash or checks in a bag in the back of the truck. Give them to a volunteer or make your donation online. Visit our Food Drives page for more information.
Blood Drive
March 30
Queen of the Holy Rosary and St. Pius X parishes co-host quarterly blood drives. Our parishes have consistently provided Community Blood Center with life saving units of blood and they express their gratitude.
