For years, cows have been giving of themselves to help mend a local Catholic church on the Southwest Side through an annual cow pie drop.

Proceeds from the event - a raffle where the winner holds the number on which the cow defecates - have gone toward restoration of the church choir loft, repairs of the parish gymnasium and installing the cameras in the church that became vital during pandemic.
