Thanks to your donations, 123 families were provided with bags of food at the August 21st Food Pantry distribution. In addition to our distribution of food on that day, all families with school age children received school supplies. We would like to thank all of the parishioners that donated school supplies. We would also like to thank all of the volunteers that helped with the sorting and distribution of the school supplies. We are blessed to have so many stewards giving their time, talent and treasure to our Food Pantry families. May God bless you all!

Next weekend is our monthly Food Pantry collection weekend. Donations brought to the Masses next Saturday, September 11th and Sunday, September 12th will be included in the liturgy at those Masses. The Food Pantry donation box will be placed in the Narthex to accept your donations.
