Legion de Maria

Meals Ministry:

The St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Mary’s Church has been assisting the less fortunate of our community through these past months and years with your generous contributions! We are helping people get back on their feet after job loss, medical emergencies, and many other life trials. Together, we have paid for funeral expenses, fuel assistance, rent, electric bills, food, and clothing for job interviews. We have also contributed to the new Laundry Love initiative. Through your generosity, we are fulfilling some of the corporal acts of mercy given to us by God: to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and bury the dead. We are all called to compassion and sacrifice for those in need. We continue to accept both food and monetary donations at St. Mary’s Church. We are at present in need of volunteers to commit some time,
and welcome anyone who would like to join our St. Vincent de Paul board!

Please contact us at 413-568-5619, press #1 - this is our food pantry line that is checked every Mon., Tues., Wed. - so someone will definitely respond to any questions or commitments. We thank you for your continued kindness and support!

May God Bless you! Very truly yours in Christ,

Kate Taibbi, President of St.Vincent de Paul Society at St. Mary’s Church.
