St. Mary’s Parish Organizations

This committee was formed in early 1980 with Anita VanSlambrouck as chairperson, to provide an emergency source of food for needy people residing in our parish when they experience circumstances that leave them without adequate nourishment.

Each year, during the three holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), we offer needy families of our parish a special bag of groceries to provide them with a nice holiday meal.

Our pantry is open to all families living in St. Mary’s Parish on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 12 Noon. Please park on the street and use the side entrance of the rectory.

Our Food Pantry is in need of: jelly, syrup, and hot chocolate mix. Thank you for your generosity!
