Weekly Parish Update

YDISCIPLES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS - GRADES 10-12
YDisciples is an opportunity to gather and share in a small group of 6-8 of your peers to help one another grow in knowledge of the faith, learn how faith is relevant to your lives as teenagers in the 21st century, and help one another to live that faith. Form a group of your friends or we can connect you with a group.

Any adults who are interested in serving as a mentor to a group is encouraged to contact us as well.

Any donation made, large or small, will directly benefit those families in need.

The following suggested items are requested:
• Breakfast Cereal

PLEASE NOTE: The food pantry is unable to accept any opened boxes or containers or any items past their expiration date.

You can bring your donation to the main entrance of the Parish Center. There is a storage bin to the left of the double doors where you may leave your donation (We retrieve items from this bin regularly throughout the week) or you can bring it to the St. Mary's Social Concern's food pantry donation station at the Farmer's Market on Fridays, from 1pm to 6pm, through October 16th.

Thank you for your continued generous support!
