St. Christopher Parish

On behalf of the St. Christopher parish family, Father Edson would like to express sincere thanks to everyone who supported the Mary’s Pantry ministry. One of the lead volunteers, Carol Van Price, asked that we express her heartfelt thanks to all of you who have supported Mary’s Pantry with groceries and financial contributions. We are sad to see the ministry come to a close, but the donations will not go to waste. They will be utilized to give aid to the poor, as intended. As Carol stated in her letter, the volunteers of this program worked very hard and brought a special gift to those in need these past years. Thank you especially to Marie, Carol, Mary, and the late Sally. Helping the poor builds treasure in heaven.
