Food will be collected in the boxes in the Narthex. Please help us sort the food by putting your items in the appropriate boxes. The last day to bring food for the boxes is Friday, November 20 with delivery promised to our families on Monday, 11/23/09.

If you would rather donate money to help purchase a turkey or ham for each family, please put a check in the collection basket at Mass made out to “St. Mary’s Catholic Church” and write “Turkey” on the memo line. Each family receives a voucher for the fresh turkey or ham. Your generous support is greatly appreciated!
