Last weekend to drop off Cans & Bottles! Thank to all who have supported us and the Knights that make this happen.

The 4th of July Bottle & Can drive begins!

From Friday 7/3 to Monday 7/13, drop off any beverage containers with the Iowa deposit in the receptacles in the SE corner of the Ss. John and Paul main parking lot, at Insurance Management Group, Altoona or in the Fareway-Pleasant Hill parking lot near the front entrance. Donations can be dropped off any time of the day.

Proceeds will help parish and charitable outreach programs.

Special Request: The recycling center asks that bags do not exceed 20 pounds.

Separate glass bottles and put them in a cardboard box. This helps prevent breakage at our drop-off sites and keeps the redemption center workers and our volunteers safe.

✝️ Holy Trinity Sunday ✝️

Today we celebrate the mystery and majesty of the Most Holy Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As Catholic men, we are called to live in communion with God and one another, reflecting His love through faith, family, and service.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." — Matthew 28:19

The Knights of Columbus proudly stand as men of faith, united in charity, unity, and fraternity. May the Holy Trinity strengthen our families, guide our parish, and inspire us to serve Christ in all we do.

🛡️ Catholic Men: Answer the call.
Join the Knights of Columbus today and become part of a brotherhood dedicated to faith, family, and service.
