Support the Works of the Holy Father through the Peter’s Pence Collection.
Catholics have joined in these works by supporting Peter’s Pence Collection, which helps to fund the Holy Father’s Mission to proclaim Christ’s message in the world. Our gifts to the collection are “concrete signs of hope” that fulfill the two aims of Peter’s Pence (1) to support the Holy Father’s mission which extends  throughout the entire world, from the proclamation of the Gospel to the promotion of integral human development, education, peace and brotherhood among people (2) to support the          numerous charitable works in aid of people and families in difficulty, populations afflicted by natural disasters and wars, or who are in need o humanitarian assistance or support for development.  For more  information please visit www.obolodisanpietro.va/en/html.

If you are in need of more assistance there are several programs within our community that can help. The link below will take you to a calendar of our community’s assistance programs. In addition to local food pantries, the calendar also has information on places that offer hot meals and clothing.

The calendar is a generic schedule and is not ‘month specific’. Rather, it breaks down the programs into ‘weeks of the month’. For example, in week 2 on Sunday, Wesley United Methodist Church serves a meal. That means that the meal listed there is served on the 2nd Sunday of every month. Likewise, our St. Mary’s Choice Food Pantry is listed on the 4th week Monday so the 4th Monday of the month is when we are open.

Please keep in mind that many of the programs on the calendar are not offered on Federal Holidays or Holy Days and that the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons may cause cancellations and date changes. Please use our calendar as a guide but remember to call ahead to make sure that the programs listed are available.
