Most Precious Blood Parish in conjunction with St. Anne Sodality and St. Rita’s Court held a three-day lunch stand during the Glidden Community Fair over Labor Day weekend. They raised more than $3,000. The former National Catholic Order of Foresters, now 1891 Financial Life, helped sponsor the event through the Hearts & Hands program, which matches up to $1,500 per Court per year. St. Rita’s Court has sponsored a Hearts & Hands event since 2023. The parish has raised more than $20,000 since then, receiving thousands in matching funds.
