On Saturday and Sunday, October 13th and 14th, we will be holding our annual “Tootsie Roll Drive” at St. Mary’s Church following all the masses. On Saturday and Sunday, October 20th and 21st, we will be holding our annual “Tootsie Roll Drive” at Sacred Heart

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, this is a fundraiser, the proceeds of which go to local charities which provide support for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. Briefly, following each mass, members of the council are stationed outside the doors of the church with a supply of Tootsie Rolls. The Tootsie Rolls are handed out to any member of the congregation who would like one and voluntary donations are collected from those who wish to give. This event has been held at St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart Churches for many years and is well known to and enjoyed by the parishioners.

I am asking for volunteers to participate at one or more of the five masses at St. Mary’s. We ask that, if possible, you leave the church immediately or shortly after receiving communion to allow time to proceed to your assigned door and pick up your apron, donation can and a supply of Tootsie Rolls. Your time spent participating in this event should be no longer than 10-15 minutes after each mass.

Please email or telephone me at (916) 456-4345 if you can help out at this event.
