Thank you for shopping for school supplies so that a child at one of our sharing parishes – St. Moses the Black or St. Benedict the African – can have nice new items as they begin their year!
 
We have three recommended options:
1)  Shop for one child (or more), supplying them with all the essentials. All the supplies may be placed in the backpack. You can bring filled backpacks to Mass with you and drop them off near the entrance to the church between June 27—July 5, 2026. The list follows.

2)  Use our Amazon Wish List – We also have a list of items we can order in bulk via Amazon. Those items will be delivered to the parish office and our volunteers will transport them to the sharing parishes. For the wish list link, use the QR code in the ad above.
 
3)  Donate Money – If you would like to donate money so that the sharing parishes can purchase school supplies, please place your donation in an envelope marked “Sharing Parishes School Supplies” and bring it to Mass or to the Parish Office. Checks should be made out to Divine Mercy Parish, and we will make sure that all funds go to the sharing parishes.
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE A DIRECT DONATION VIA GIVECENTRAL BY CLICKING HERE.

Look for this banner/flag at community events in Northfield, Winnetka, and Glencoe this summer.  You'll find other Divine Mercy and Sacred Heart School families to gather with!  Pictured above is the group that gathered at the first Wednesday night concert in Clarkson Park in Northfield.  They also have food and kid activities, so join the group any Wednesday evening this summer!
