Thank you St. Thomas for encouraging “new Trees” to spring forth from your kindness and generosity at home and in the community. Together we collected $675.00 worth of gift cards for our own Parish Meal Ministry! Your kindness will provide comfort to a parish member who may be in mourning the loss of a loved one or juggling the joy of a new baby or simply just to let someone we care and are praying for them. St. James Food Pantry thanks you too for the reusable bags and food donations. Please see the next news posting for their need for donations again. The Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless was blown away by the amount of new and gently used men items that were collected. Jon Romano Coordinator for the Clothing Pantry at Community Connections made three trips to unload the van! He thanks you for assisting to cloth their guests our neighbors. Click for pictures
