For over 20 years, the From Our Hands to His Lambs Easter Basket Project has provided Easter baskets to children in under-resourced communities across Missouri. In 2026, the project is being offered at St. Patrick for the first time, with the goal of preparing more than 300 Easter baskets for children in need.
We are collecting items to include in the baskets:
Children’s puzzles
Bubbles
Sidewalk chalk
Crayons
Play-Doh
Gently used or new small toys (including McDonald’s-style toys)
Small personal care items
A donation box is located in the back of church.
Monetary donations are also welcome. Volunteers can shop on your behalf. For donations or questions, contact Mary Jo at [email protected].
Join your fellow Parish Life Ministry members to help assemble Easter baskets!
Upcoming Assembly Day:
Watch the bulletin and Flocknote for dates.
What to Bring: A pair of scissors and one roll of clear mailing tape for your workstation, if possible.
Please call or text Mary Jo at [email protected] to let her know you’re coming.
Additional assembly days will be scheduled prior to Easter.
