We are so pleased to bring back the Charity of the Month Program starting this August! The image of open hands will be the logo for this ministry. Each month we will place the logo of the charity we are supporting in those hands. Items can be brought to the back of the church by the St. Anthony shrine. Money and gift cards can be put in the collection basket using the envelopes in the pews. Thank you to Kate Biggar and the team of parishioners who have been working for months to bring back this beloved ministry. Volunteers are needed to help deliver donations to the charities at the end of each month. Please contact kate.biggar@stpatrickbridge.org if you’d be willing to help with that work.
