Annual Food Collection for the Poor
-
June 5, 2023Due 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 Diocesan-wide food collection in all parishes and agencies on the Feast of Corpus Christi, Saturday and Sunday, June 10th and 11th. We are all being asked to bring assorted items on that day.
Our parish has been asked to provide Juice, Canned Vegetables (corn, beets), Instant Potatoes, Paper Towels, Cold Cereal and Coffee (instant and 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 10th and 11th. 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.
