In keeping with our parish's history of support for our military, we are partnering with the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Foundation to send necessary supplies to the men and women of our armed forces who are now deployed in Europe in light of the war in Ukraine. Our military is undersupplied for personal hygienic and first aid supplies. A list of needed supplies will be forthcoming. The Zilinski Foundation will handle the shipping and logistics. We have worked with this foundation in the past in procuring supplies and also in the training of service dogs to assist veterans suffering from PTSD. (Dennis, a 2002 graduate of CBA and 2005 graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point, was killed in Iraq on November 19, 2005.
His family established a memorial foundation to “support and improve the morale and welfare of the members of the US armed forces and their families and to aid and assist our wounded warriors.”
