Good Afternoon Fellow Parishioners of St. Mary's!

I would like to remind you of the food drive the Youth Ministry Program is conducting through October 5. Our goal is to collect 3600 items (3 items/registered family) to be donated to the Inter-Faith Food Pantry in Blacksburg.

We are participating in the international food drive to end hunger right in our own community and to teach our young people the Corporal Work of Mercy of feeding the hungry. Please bring non-perishable food items to Mass with you and place them in the collection boxes in the Narthex. Many of you have already contributed--thank you so much for your generosity!

Blessings on each of you for your continued support and commitment to our program. Your actions set a great example for our youth! Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,
Pam Ray
Coodinator of Youth Ministry
