First of all, a huge thank you to all who contributed to this past weekend’s drive for the Deacon John Rigely Food Pantry. Your generous donations have restocked the pantry for the Fall season, and your monetary donations amounted to over $5,000 in total. This allows our pantry to continue to feed our hungry neighbors, and to have the resources to meet those special need that arise. More and more of our clients are young families with young children. You are all truly doing God’s work by your efforts. A special thanks to all who staff our food pantry, who help those in need directly, and do so allowing them to keep their dignity intact. All of us should continue to pray for the success of their efforts, and for the families that are served, who allow us to serve Christ before us each and every week.
This weekend offered two family oriented activities, the touch a truck for children (and their families) on Saturday afternoon, and the parish picnic on Sunday afternoon. I hope many of you had an opportunity to gather together and socialize, as we should. We always continue to gather and worship together in our many weekend Masses, which is always the most important thing that we do. God bless you all for all the good you do.
