Our thriving food pantry speaks volumes of the goodness of our parish community. My continued gratitude to everyone for all you do to make the pantry effort so successful. It is only through your support and generosity that we can continue the good work of aiding people in need. I thank you so much for the kindness you show to others.

This week the pantry could use pasta sauce (small size), peanutbutter (small size), canned chicken and bars of soap. You may drop donations at Outreach, the Rectory and the Church. If you are interested in donating gift cards, it is most helpful if they are in smaller denominations ($10, $20 or $25) thereby allowing us to give to more people.

**PLEASE NOTE -- It is most helpful if you check the dates on your donations – we are UNABLE AND WILL NOT distribute food that is expired or has been opened.**Also - we are unable to accept over the counter medications and clothing donations.** **PLEASE NOTE - Outreach Hours to accept donations: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. or donations can be left in the bins in the vestibule of the church after all Masses.

Please do not leave your donations with the Diocesan Offices in the school building or at the Rectory doors.**
