Adopted Mission Project
 St. Isidore supports a Mexican Mission and missionary in Baja California. A special September benefit is held, including a celebration of a Mexican Mass. This project is held every year at St. Isidore to raise funds. Donations for our adopted mission are accepted anytime during the year. Through our parish efforts, we support a breakfast program that has fed over 80-180 children. We also assisted in the building of a chapel & cafeteria. We have helped to obtain better utensils and equipment for the kitchen; also to help get storage for water and have milk and fruit for most of the year (instead of buying weekly). |
