Backpack Drive

Each summer for more than 15 years, St. Katharine Drexel Parish has been running a back-to-school NEW backpack and NEW school supplies drive in the month of July. The drive benefits children of migrant workers in Pahokee, Florida. The collected backpacks and supplies are sorted, then delivered two weeks before Pahokee public schools reopen to St. Mary’s Church CCD program facility in Pahokee.

The drive allows our church family the opportunity to fill backpacks with school supplies for students in need. Through this, we get to be the hands and feet of Jesus — showing Christ’s love. As followers of Christ, our genuine desire is to be selfless and kind toward others. Jesus calls us to show compassion to those in need. When we are generous with our time, resources, and talents, we make a heartfelt decision of obedience toward Our Father.

We don’t often see the impact that backpacks and school supplies have on children and families in need. It brings parents relief and comfort to know that their children have the school supplies needed to learn and do well in school.

Toy Drive – Angel Tree

SKD toy drives have become an essential part of our parish, bringing parishioners together to make a difference in the lives of those who need them most. Our toy drives play a crucial role in ensuring that the children of the CCD program in Pahokee experience the joy of receiving a gift during the holidays, helping to alleviate the stress faced by migrant parents in that community.

For more information on how you can volunteer during either of the drives, please contact (954) 683-3584 - Marie France.

Campaña de Mochilas

Cada verano, durante más de 15 años, la Parroquia St. Katharine Drexel ha organizado una colecta de mochilas y útiles escolares NUEVOS para el regreso a clases. Esta colecta beneficia a los hijos de trabajadores migrantes en Pahokee, Florida. Se lleva a cabo durante todo el mes de julio. Las mochilas y los útiles recolectados se clasifican y se entregan dos semanas antes de la reapertura de las escuelas públicas de Pahokee. Se entregan en las instalaciones del programa CCD de la Iglesia Santa María en Pahokee.

Esta colecta brinda a nuestra familia parroquial la oportunidad de llenar mochilas con útiles escolares para estudiantes necesitados. De esta manera, nos convertimos en las manos y los pies de Jesús, mostrando su amor. Como seguidores de Cristo, nuestro deseo genuino es ser desinteresados y bondadosos con los demás. Jesús nos llama al amor y compasión por los necesitados. Cuando somos generosos con nuestro tiempo, recursos y talentos, tomamos una decisión sincera de obediencia a nuestro Padre Celestial.

No solemos ver el impacto que las mochilas y los útiles escolares tienen en los niños y las familias necesitadas. Pero para una familia con dificultades económicas, cubrir esos necesarios escolares es un alivio. A los padres les brinda alivio y consuelo saber que sus hijos tienen los útiles escolares necesarios para aprender y tener un buen rendimiento escolar.

Campaña de Juguetes – Árbol de Ángeles

Las colectas de juguetes de St. Katharine Drexel se han convertido en una parte esencial de nuestra parroquia, uniendo a los feligreses para marcar la diferencia en la vida de quienes más lo necesitan. La temporada navideña puede ser un momento difícil para muchas familias que enfrentan dificultades económicas. Nuestras colectas de juguetes son cruciales para garantizar que los niños del programa CCD en Pahokee experimenten la alegría de recibir un regalo durante las fiestas. Este gesto ayuda a aliviar el estrés y la presión que enfrentan los padres migrantes en esa comunidad.

Para más información sobre cómo ser voluntario en cualquiera de las campañas, comuníquese con Marie France al (954) 683–3584.

What is the Purpose of the Procession?

This annual motorcade procession is a significant and now traditional event with three main goals:

1. To promote Marian devotion under the title of Our Lady of Charity, patroness of Cuba and co-patroness of the Archdiocese of Miami.
2. To encourage participation in events surrounding the Feast of Our Lady of Charity on September 8.
3. To inspire visits and pilgrimages to the National Shrine in Miami, especially during this Jubilee Year.

How is the Procession Developed?

The procession takes the form of a reverent caravan or motorcade, led by a pickup truck carrying the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Charity, beautifully adorned with flowers. The caravan is escorted by local police and accompanied by a small group of members from the Archconfraternity of Our Lady of Charity, who follow behind the statue in prayer and devotion. When the motorcade arrives at the scheduled stop, it parks in the designated location where the prayer encounter will take place. The image does not come down from the pickup truck nor enter any of the parish buildings.

On August 23^rd St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Parish is planned as the sixth stop on the route, with an estimated arrival time at 2:30pm and a departure time at 3:00pm.

September 19^th to 21^st
Delray Beach

A Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend will give you all the tools you need for a better, stronger, more loving marriage.
