Christ the King Retreat House Garden Thank you!

Diaper Collection Thank you!!
HC parishioners & faith formation students donated 2000 diapers to our Diaper drive to benefit CNY Diaper Bank. Thank you for your generous contribution to our March diaper drive! Terri Cylinski accompanied me to a “wrap & play” session at the diaper bank, located at Shoppingtown Mall. The diaper bank distributes diapers to families in need all over Syracuse via outreach agencies such as Catholic Charities, Samaritan Center, Vera House. Thank you for your generous contribution to the care of babies throughout our city!
