CDA Court #2690 is again appealing to the generosity of St. Peter the
Apostle parishioners for monetary donations to Blessings in a Backpack
after the weekend Masses of August 14th and 15th, 2021. BIB is a
national non-profit with chapters in 44 states, in addition to other cities in
Texas.
The local Boerne chapter started in 2013, providing food to school
children in the BISD federal meal program on weekends during the
school year.
Children served by BIB nationwide have been shown to have improved
attendance, behavior, reading skills and test scores in school. BIB must
raise the funds to purchase the food provided. It costs approximately
$175 to support one child for the entire school year.
There will be representatives from the CDA present after all Masses the
weekend of August 14th and 15th to answer your questions and accept
donations. If you write a check, please make it out to CDA Court #2690.
We look forward to and appreciate your support.
If you are not able to make it that weekend, please consider dropping off
your donation in the parish office or mailing it to:
St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church
Attn: CDA Blessings in a Backpack

Blessings in a Backpack después de las misas de fin de semana del 14
y 15 de agosto de 2021. BIB es una organización de caridad que se
puede encontrar en 44 estados y también en otras ciudades en Tejas.
La organizacion local de Boerne comenzó en 2013, proporcionando
alimentos a los niños en edad escolar en los fines de semana durante el
año escolar quienes participaban en el programa federal de comidas de
BISD.
Se ha demostrado que los niños atendidos por BIB en todo el país han
mejorado la asistencia, el comportamiento, las habilidades de lectura y
los resultados en los exámenes en la escuela. BIB debe recaudar los
fondos para comprar los alimentos provistos. Cuesta aproximadamente
$175 para mantener a un niño durante todo el año escolar. Esperamos
su apoyo.
Habrá un representante de la CDA presente después de todas las misas
el fin de semana del 14 y 15 de agosto para responder sus preguntas y
aceptar donaciones. Si escribe un cheque, por favor, hágalo a nombre
de la CDA Court #2690. Esperamos y agradecemos su apoyo.
Si no puede asistir ese fin de semana, considere dejar su donación en la
