Our Catholic Daughters will be collecting on the weekends of October 24/25 and October 31/November 1: The Houston International Seafarers’ Center serves as a home away from home for the men and women that travel aboard ocean-going vessels. The CDA of St. Maximilian, in collaboration with the Port of Houston, continues a wonderful tradition of spreading holiday cheer by providing small gifts to visiting seafarers through the “Shoeboxes for Seafarers” program. Each box includes personal products such as soap, socks, shampoo and a toothbrush, as well as other fun items like pens, puzzles, Sudoku books, and candy. Please consider donating these small items. Our CDA ladies will be collecting items both these weekends after the Masses.
