Coat Drive 


During Catholic Schools' Week St. Francis will be sponsoring a used coat drive. Bring your coats to the athletic events or just drop them off anytime during the week in the bins located in the atrium. The coats will be donated to Heartland Alliance, an organization supporting refugees in the US. Many of these refugees come from warm climates and do not have warm winter coats. We all know how cold Chicago winters can be so dig out your closets and show your support!
