Make your quarters count this Lent

During Lent 2014 (March 5 through April 18), St. Catherine's is challenging parishioners to share their treasure with those in need by answering one simple question:

Can you spare one quarter (25 cents) to give to the Poor Box at every Mass you attend during Lent?

How much does one quarter count?

If 300 parishioners give one quarter per week, by the end of six weeks of Lent, we'd have $450 to donate to those in need....That's at least three week's worth of groceries for a family of four...or 45 boxes of diapers...or warm winter coats for eight children...or (you fill in the blank...it's your quarter!)
