The weather is warming up and all the early spring flowers are lifting up their heads to the sunshine.  So too are we in this welcome relief from a classic upstate NY winter.

We honored another milestone anniversary this past weekend.  Dave and Jane

News from the Social Ministry Committee:

The Social Ministry Committee has a new name.  We will now be referred to as the Faith in Action Committee.  This name better reflects our goal to provide you, the parishioners, with opportunities to reach out and help the needy in our community.

Currently you could bring specific food and toiletry items to Mass on the first weekend of the month and participate in the upcoming Spirit Day.  (Spirit Day will be a chance to put your faith into action helping with spring cleaning for local people in need of a little assistance.) In the Fall you might also donate items for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Food baskets and Christmas gifts for our Giving Tree.  The Committee itself reaches out by bringing flowers to the homebound at Easter and Christmas and by sending monetary donations to needy families.

In the future we would also like to invite you to join us in educating ourselves regarding Social Justice issues.  Anyone interested in the above activities is welcomed to attend our monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of the month at 5:45 pm in the Parish Center.

Food Collection News: Last month we collect about 20 bags of items.  Our next monthly food collection will be the weekend of 5/3 and 5/4. St. Theodore’s Food Cupboard has requested CEREAL, RICE, PEANUT BUTTER AND SPAM.
