Due to the unprecedented requests for assistance from Catholic Charities’ food pantries and in order to fulfill our obligations to the poor, Bishop Sweeney has authorized a Diocesanwide food collection in all parishes and agencies on the Feast of Corpus Christi, Saturday/Sunday, June 18th/19th. We are all being asked to bring assorted food products on those days. Our parish has been asked to provide juice, canned vegetables (corn, beets, potatoes(, paper towels, cold cereal, coffee, instant or ground. Monetary donations will also be accepted and can be made online at www.ccpaterson.org/corpus. Checks should be made payable to Catholic Charities. The food collection days will be June 18th and June 19th. Bring your donation to the Food Pantry basket in the church vestibule that weekend. Thank you in advance for your care and concern for the poorest among us.
