St. Mary’s Students Host Tremendous Food Drive at King Kullen in Manhasset

Students from the 8th grade religious education class and St. Mary’s High School teamed up for a wonderful and impactful food collection at King Kullen this past weekend. They worked hard in the cold with great attitudes to collect enough food to fill our pantry shelves for many weeks to come. It was also fun to see so many of St. Mary’s parishioners donate items outside the store for the effort as well. As always, all food collected for our office goes directly to the underserved population right here in Manhasset. Thank you, kids, for your selfless dedication to this effort and for doing your part to help those in need. Many blessings to you all!

Society of St. Vincent de Paul

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work.” Through your almsgiving you are doing the will of the Father and finishing the work of Jesus. Know that your nickel, dime or quarter is multiplied by the coins place by others in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box. Church

Our St. Vincent de Paul Conference is able to help our neighbors in need through the generosity of our St. Mary’s parishioners. Each time you donate, either through the collection slots at the doors of the church, or in an envelope marked for St. Vincent de Paul, you are helping our neighbors within St. Mary’s Parish. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, contact the St. Vincent de Paul Society at 516-627-0385, ext. 1125, or email SVDP@ stmary.ws. To donate furniture, clothing or household items, please call the store in Garden City Park at 516-746-8250. Thank you for your continued support.
