The annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will begin the weekend of October 31 – November 1 and end the weekend of November 28-29. We will be distributing brown paper bags with the list of preferred donation items during the weekend Masses on Nov 1-2. Donations may be dropped off in the SVdP wooden box located in the church hallway, or in the grocery carts that will be in the Gathering Space. You may also bring donations by our SVdP office during our regular hours (Mondays 12 noon to 2pm; Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 10am to 12 noon). Thanksgiving Day Mass – Donations may also be brought to the Thanksgiving Day Mass and dropped off in the grocery carts before Mass. Donations will then be blessed by the celebrant during the Mass.
