Operation Backpack

Our annual Operation Backpack generates school supplies for area students at the end of summer every year. Help support school-age children in the Greater Cypress area and at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church as they begin a new school year by donating new supplies. Drop them off after Mass or in the Parish Office Monday through Friday! We ask for donations of new items only, so feel free to get double what you may be getting for your family.

Needed donations include: (*Most Needed Items)

• Backpacks* (reminder Cy-Fair ISD requires clear backpacks)
• Shoes and socks for ages 5-15*
• Underwear*
• Glue sticks*
• Highlighters*
• 1.5" binders*
• Wide-rule notebook paper
• Folders
• Spiral notebooks
• Pens, pencils and colored pencils

Supplies to local school children will be distributed through Cypress Assistance Ministries (CAM) and our sister parish, Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church located in Houston’s Fifth Ward. You also can help by making a monetary donation on CAM's website.
