lacking in food and other essentials. Those interest-

should contact me at brotherbraids@aol.com. If

you would like to provide us with cash donations

to purchase food and clothing, we would certainly

appreciate it.

Lenten Food Drive : St. Mary’s Parish is holding our annual Lenten Food Drive to benefit the Com-munity Center of Northern Westchester located in Katonah. This is our fourteenth year and through your generosity, our parish has donated over 14 tons of food to help our neighbors in need. Please consider making this a part of your Lenten alms-giving. We will be collecting the bags this week-end— on March 14th and 15th. Please bring your donation of food to the church only on this week-end as a group will be collecting and stocking the shelves at the center on that day. If you can’t return the bag on the designated weekend please leave it under the porch of the St. Joseph’s room. Please do not donate food in glass. Food should not be placed in the back of church. We always need people with cars to collect before Mass, people to hand out bags and people to stock shelves. We love having kids involved. If you would like to help out with this effort please contact Toni @ b4boyz@optonline.net or MaryEllen @ laugher5@optonline.net. Thank You!
