St. John XXIII College Connection… Remembering and encouraging our members in college
That time of year is coming up on us again – Finals! That means it is College Connection time – when we send “care packages” to those attending college before exam time. If you gave us the address in the fall and it has not changed, the package will be sent to that address. If you missed it last semester, it is not too late to submit the names and address for the spring semester by entering their information on the form below.
To continue the success of this program, we need your help. There are two ways you can do so:
Wrapped Candy, Gum, mints; Individually wrapped cookies, snack size crackers & cheese, Kool-Aid/Crystal Light; Coffee, tea or cocoa packets; Snack size chips and pretzels; Pop Tarts, Granola bars/Fruit bars, Microwave popcorn, Raisins, trail mix, Fruit roll ups, Cup of soup, Ramen, Dried Fruit, Instant cereal packets, Prayer Cards, Individual Kleenex, Highlighters, pens, pencils, note pads. Use your imagination!!!
Please AVOID: Any heavy items, perishable items, items larger than a shoebox, or any medications.
You are also welcome and invited to help prepare the care packages (sorting, packing, mailing) on Tuesday, April 30 at 6:00pm in the West Hallway of the School (look for the signsJ). Families are welcome! Great service opportunity for youth! (It’s fun, too)

To continue the success of this program, we need your help. There are two ways you can do so:
- Make a $$ donation to help defray the cost of postage to mail these packages. This is the largest expense of the packages so any donation to offset the cost of postage is appreciated! (Checks can be made payable to “St. John XXIII” and put in an envelope marked “Youth Ministry-College Connection” and dropped in the collection baskets or mailed to the Youth Ministry Office.)
- Choose several items below and bring them to Church with you on the weekends of April 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28and put them in the box in the gathering area. Or you may drop off your items at the parish office or St. Peter’s school office—make sure you indicate the items are for College Connection– by April 29.
