Works of Mercy – Feeding and Clothing

We thank parishioners who donated non-perishable items for the food bank, as well as winter clothing such as coats, scarves, gloves, sweatshirts, and more for the needy. Also, I thank students, their parents who prepared sandwiches, and packages with winter clothing. They were delivered to the homeless in Paterson on a very cold Sunday, January 30th. Despite freezing weather we met several people who appreciated our service performed in the name of our Savior. Remaining items were delivered to Eva’s Shelter.
