Donations
"When you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.”
Matthew 6:3-4
Our Parish offers several opportunities to give alms. This ministry reaches out to those less fortunate from our local community; we serve many families on a weekly basis. We do have a screening process for eligibility.We are proud to be a recipient of the Vicarate Outreach Program of the Archdiocese of Hartford.
