Thanksgiving food drive. We distribute the baskets
on Sunday, November 22nd. We are concentrating
on giving foods for the Thanksgiving meal; we will
not be adding any extras this year. The foods we
will collect are pie crust and cake mix and frosting,
roll or biscuit mix, stuffing, gravy, canned green
beans, corn, peas, sweet, potatoes, cranberry sauce,
fresh produce such as carrots, celery, onions,
potatoes, apples and oranges. We will not collect
the usual foods for the pantry during November. As
our inventory continues to be low, please help us
with the following if you can: spaghetti sauce,
cereal, tuna and mac and cheese. Thank you for
your support.

La Oficina del Ministerio Hispano y la Oficina del Ministerio Social quiere
promover nuestro ministerio social. Nos gustaría que todos nuestros
hermanos y hermanas de Cristo se vuelvan un solo cuerpo para ayudar a

Migrantes, lo cuales necesitan nuestras manos y corazones para poder
seguir ayudando a nuestros hermanos.
El papel en los diferentes ministros incluye:
- Sesión de entrenamiento y aprendizaje
- Visitar a los trabajadores migrantes y prisioneros
- Colaborar en el ropero y la despensa de comida en la parroquia
- Colectar recursos para distribuir a los que servimos
- Planear los eventos y coordinar para adquirir fondos
