Operation Backpack

Our annual Operation Backpack for school supplies toward the end of the summer every year. Bring supplies to Mass or drop them off in the Parish Office during the week. We are asking for new school supplies, so feel free to get double what you may be getting for your family. Some examples of supplies are:

• Wide-rule notebook paper
• Folders
• Binders
• Spiral notebooks
• Pens
• Pencils
• Map colors, etc.
• Tennis shoes for ages 5-15
• Backpacks (reminder Cy-Fair ISD is requiring clear backpacks)

We will distribute the supplies to local school children through Cypress Assistance Ministries (CAM) and also our sister parish, Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church, in Houston’s Fifth Ward. Please remember to pick up a few items when you are at the store. There are plenty of sales going on now, so stock up and bring them to Mass and we’ll make sure they get to children most in need. 

You can also help by making a monetary donations on CAM's website.

Thank you for your generosity in helping to serve the children of CtR and surrounding areas!
