During Sunday’s Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 13, young Catholics from around Maine plan to get donations to benefit those in need through the “Souper” Bowl of Caring.

The annual event, held this year on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 12 and 13, is a weekend of giving and serving during which 100% of the monetary and food donations collected will be given to local charities to help tackle hunger in the community, according to a news release from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.

Parishes participating include:

Youth ministry members at St. Michael Parish will hold soup pots and collect money and food items at weekend Masses at many parish churches: St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Augusta (Sunday at 7 and 9 a.m.); St. Augustine Church, Augusta (Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 a.m.); St. Joseph Church, Gardiner (Sunday at 10 a.m.); St. Denis Church, Whitefield (Saturday at 4 p.m.); and St. Francis Xavier Church, Winthrop (Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and Sunday at 8 a.m.).
