Easter Basket Ministry

Let's put some Easter Baskets in the hands of those who may not otherwise receive them!

How it started: We began a new outreach project in March of 2021 to bring some Easter joy to the residents of the Hastings Lewis House and Regina Senior Living, and to the children of families receiving assistance from Hastings Family Service.

We asked parishioners to bring in filled Easter baskets and the response was so great that we had 115 baskets in 2021 and 150 in 2022! Due to your generosity, we had enough baskets to provide for the above-mentioned organizations and were also able to serve the Eagan Lewis House, the Rosemount Family Resource Center, and the Franciscan Brothers of Peace.

This project serves adults and children. You can purchase ready-made filled baskets, put your own together, or donate individual items that WE will put together for you! For ideas for senior baskets, see below.

Please bring your donations to the table in the gathering space no later than April 2, 2023. Thank you for providing some extra JOY this Easter!
