During the last weekend of the month (it can be either be the fourth weekend or fifth weekend, depending on how many weeks there are in a month), empty serving trays and recipes are available in St. Mary’s narthex for parishioners to pick up. Parishioners prepare the recipe, freeze it and return the frozen casserole the following weekend (the first weekend of the next month). Also, St. Mary’s supports The Food Bank Network of Somerset County, distributing packages of food to 2,200 individuals monthly. Recipients are usually low income, working families who cannot always meet the high cost of living in this area. Canned and other non-perishable is collected on the 2nd weekend of the month in a bin located in the narthex. Please remember the hungry during the summer months…..HUNGER DOES NOT TAKE A VACATION!!
