This Sunday, is Sharing Sunday. Bring a bag of non-perishable food as you come to church this weekend. Food collected will be donated to a local food pantry.
Beginning this weekend, we will restore the Offertory Collection to the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. As the Altar is prepared, parishioners who wish to make their weekly offering may do so in the pew. Ushers will use baskets with long handles so that households may maintain social distancing. Thank you for your sustained weekly offering to St. Mary's
