Pantry Notice As we are approaching the New Year, and we at the pantry reflected on how lucky we are at St. Mary s felt it was important for us to thank several groups. The first of course is you the Parishioner who responded time and time again with requested donations. Thank You for you continuous generosity. We are so lucky to be part of such a caring church community. In November, 2 local groups ran, collected, and delivered a tremendous number of staples to our Pantry. One was a local public school and the other was our neighbor, the Phoenix Center. These drives filled our shelves with staples, which were low. We are so lucky to have such good neighbors. Last, but certainly not least, our CCD Program, Tuesday and Sunday collected food, as part of their Advent Preparation. Isn t it wonderful to see so many people step forward and help their needy neighbors, especially our children. Thank you is not enough for everyone but as there is no other word. Thank you All! Have a Blessed and Healthy New Year Pantry Coordinator 656 Page 4
National Migration Week to begin Jan 6 National Migration Week will be observed in dioceses across the country Jan 6-12. For nearly a half century, the Church in the United States has celebrated the event, which is an opportunity for the Church to reflect on the circumstances confronting migrants, including immigrants, refugees, children and victims and survivors of human trafficking During the week, Catholics are called to participate through prayer and action to try to ease the struggles of immigrants, migrants and vulnerable populations, and to reflect on the Church's obligation to welcome the stranger. The theme for National Migration Week 2019, "Building Communities of Welcome," emphasizes Catholic responsibility to engage and welcome newcomers on their arrival, and help to ease their transitions into a new life in the United States. Welcoming communities are established through the hard work and conviction of people on the ground through direct service, shared experience and faith, advocacy and institution building. For more information on how to get involved, Visit www.justiceforimmigrants.org/take-action/national-migration-week. Saturday, January 26 th at 7 PM On Saturday, January 26 th at 7 PM we will have our annual Family Bingo Night in Monsignor Walsh Hall.
