Each year during our Assumption Lenten Challenge, our parish focuses on a local charity
in need of specific, donated items and takes up weekly collections throughout the
6 weeks of Lent to assist them in their good work!

This year's Assumption Lenten Challenge was in support of the St. Patrick Center!


Located in downtown St. Louis, the St. Patrick Center provides housing, hot meals, job training, employment placement and behavioral health services to people who are homeless or
at risk of becoming homeless. It is a one-stop caring center for homeless services,
treating people with dignity and helping them gain independence!


Thank you so much to our Assumption Parish Family for your generous response to our
2021 Lenten Challenge! Together, we provided so many needed items, including kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, bedding, clothing for adults & children and non-perishable food! It took 2 separate trips, around 5-6 hours, and several volunteers to load up all of the donations we collected
and drop them off.at St. Patrick's! We are so proud to have such a generous, giving parish
that looks to the needs of others as their own!

We invite you to watch the video above about the St. Patrick Center and learn more about
how they are helping those in need in our community!
