FOOD PANTRY
Wesley House, our local food pantry, for the second year in a row, has been given the opportunity to double any gifts of food or
money donated to them during the months of March and April. Mr. Alan Feinstein, Cranston, RI, has announced that he will match
any donation of food or money contributed to Wesley House; they will receive $1.00 for each pound item or dollar. If you wish to
donate by check, please make it payable to Wesley House and have “Feinstein” on the memo line.
For your information.
***Our parish has supported the Wesley House food pantry for years. It is a great way to centralize the distribution of food in our
community. This eliminates the duplication of efforts. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Wichita subsidizes the salary of a full
time social worker, Alberta, at Wesley House. This is just one of the ways the Catholic Church provides assistance to those in need
in the Pittsburg area.
Please remember to name Our Lady of Lourdes or St. Mary’s Colgan Schools in your will.
May we leave a legacy of faith and education for the generations to come.
Please consider informing Fr. Tom or the parish office of your legacy plans, kraus@smcschools.org
