St. Catherine's Receives 'Outpouring' of Donors at Parish Blood Drive

Some 35 donors kept the Community Blood Council of NJ Bloodmobile hopping at St. Catherine's first blood drive on Sunday, November 17. Workers tended to a "continuous stream" of parishioners, which enabled the parish to exceed its goal of 25 blood donors.

All donors received a t-shirt, bracelet, and were entered for a chance to win a pair of tickets to Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium. Every donation also earned a contribution to the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. The Knights of Columbus led this event and thanked all the donors for their "big-hearted" support. Next year, the Knights plan to expand the drive to two bloodmobiles to accommodate the great turnout for the event.
