Parish
Outreach has two main
parts: Food Pantry and Thrift Shop. The
volunteers show God’s compassion to people who need assistance with food
and clothing. The volunteer
schedule is flexible and varied. The program includes the availability of
an Immigration Counselor once a month and referral services through local
agencies, Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

days for each member of a family. People

addition to food donations from Long Island Cares and U.S. Government
Commodities, the pantry relies on donations from our parishioners.
