INTRODUCING FOOD SUNDAY, A NEW MINISTRY

Our Outreach Committee has chosen the first Sunday of each month as Food Sunday, a time when we place a large offering basket at the rear of the church to receive food gifts to be given to a Germantown food bank. We need non-perishable foods, such as canned tuna, peanut butter, pasta. The basket will then be carried forward at the Offertory with the other gifts of the day from the parish. Please help launch this new ministry by bringing an offering of food on the first Sunday of each month.
