Fall Fest Service Project

Dear MQPCS Parents,                                                                                              

For our Thanksgiving Fall Fest Service Project, Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic School will be participating in a snack drive for children in need. At this year’s Fall Fest, students will pack bags with an assortment of donated snacks. The bags have scripture verses on them, and students will create a card to place inside the snack bag they pack, so the child in need will not only receive snacks, but also God’s words of inspiration, our prayers, and love. Snacks can be dropped off by November 17 (a list is attached and a collection box will be located in the student’s class building).

Our prayer is that your family will experience the mercy of our Lord through this act of love and generosity. With your help, we aim to bless 200 children.

• Individual snack-sized items, please

• Bulk packages of individual snack-sized items may be donated

• Refer to the flyer for each class’s snack assignment 

Please take a moment as a family to pray for the children who will receive your snacks before sending them to school.

The snack bags, along with the parish food bags and grocery gift certificates, will be distributed to families in need by RUN in the cafeteria on November 22 from 11AM to 1 PM. Also, a hot turkey dinner will be served to all who attend. MQP is partnering with STARC, Family Reach, Samaritan Center, Project Christmas, and the St. Tammany Foundation-Cancer Center. If your family would like to volunteer to help on Saturday, November 22, from 10AM to 2PM, on distribution day, don't hesitate to get in touch with Chris Erkel at [email protected] to register for RUN or notify Ms. Kari Doyle at [email protected]. 

With gratitude,
