Turkey Drive/ Hartford Catholic Worker and Covenant to Care (DCF)
November 19 & 20, we collected over 40 frozen turkeys outside the doors of St. Patrick Church in the parking lot.  The turkeys and many bags of nonperishable food will be given to Hartford Catholic Worker in Hartford.  Also, over 14 families of Covenant to Care, will enjoy Thanksgiving with frozen turkeys and “everything but the turkey side dishes” due to the overwhelming out-reach of many families of St. Patrick Parish. 
 
Convenant to Care ministry began several years ago and has supported hundreds of families and children throughout the years, with collections: The Giving Tree in Advent; Christmas Stockings; Easter Baskets; Backpacks, Clothes and Materials needed for the new school year, just to name a few of the major events. The
overabundance of turkeys and side-dishes collected last weekend exemplifies the generosity and love of this beautiful parish!
May God continue to bless us all!
