Outreach
† EMERGENCY: Our dear partner in ministry, the Darby Mission needs some help feeding students as their phenomenal summer day camp comes to end this month. This is an emergency appeal for donations for this weekend only–give a little or give a lot–all the money will go to feed children in Darby and their families. Designate checks or cash for the Darby Mission. If you have any questions let James know. Thank you!
† Our Connect by Night hosting month has been moved from July to December.
† Thanks to all who contributed to food collection for St. Mark’s in Frankford. Joe Zorc delivered groceries collected and they were very appreciative and added it to their pantry for parishioners in need. We will continue to collect food for St. Mark’s in the box in the parish office hallway. We will look for other opportunities to work with them. Let Joe Zorc know if you are interested in participating.
† This summer, we will be sponsoring an end of summer celebration for the summer day camp at the Darby Mission. If you would like to contribute, please make a contribution to the Outreach Committee.
