On Wednesday, December 10th. at 6 PM, St. Pius V Catholic Church in Singler Hall invites you to a Welcome Neighbor STL International Supper Club to support immigrant and refugee families in St. Louis. Enjoy food, conversation, and catching up with friends – old and new. From cultural exchange to just plain fun, look forward to a great evening.

These meals present an opportunity for immigrant and refugee families to share knowledge and skills unique to them. It is also an opportunity for us to get a glimpse into their culture. These fundraising efforts can set them on a path of greater independence and confidence in their lives here in the USA.

In addition to enjoying the dinner, you can also donate food to the St. Pius food pantry – Cereal, particularly oatmeal, peanut butter, hearty soup, pasta, pasta sauce, protein (canned chicken, chili, stew, tuna) OR contribute to Welcome Neighbor STL Unhoused Meal Program using the link at the bottom of the page.

We appreciate your generosity!
