Saint Michael and All Angels is collecting personal hygiene kits and school supplies for families impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Working with the Diocese of Texas, we are responding to the needs of families in three Houston elementary schools. Many families in these schools have lost their income and have provided shelter for other families. A list of the needed items is at several locations throughout the church. Put your items in a large ziplock bag and drop it in the receptacles in the North and South Lanais. Compline at Canterbury House Tonight – Join Us.
