Fr. Craig Visits the SVdP Food Pantry

On September 16, Fr. Craig visited the SVdP Food Pantry at St. Maria Goretti Parish. He was impressed by its operations, organization, and the range of choices available to the neighbors in need.

The Pantry’s work is made possible by the continued commitment of our parishioners like you through:
