FOOD PANTRY

Our Food Pantry is doing very well. Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners and the students at

Monsignor Farrell High school we were able to feed more families than ever this month. Our pantry was al-

most cleaned out and then we were blessed with a delivery from ShopRite Supermarkets. We are deeply

grateful to everyone for their kindness and stewardship. We are doing good work together!

If you would like to make a donation to our food pantry, we need baby food, diapers, breakfast cereals,

oatmeal and childrens school snacks. We are happy to report we have an abundance of canned goods so we do

not need that for now. Our food pantry will be open on Tuesday, April 10 from 4pm-5pm and 7pm-8pm.
