Parish Outreach

Parish Outreach has two main parts: Food Pantry and Thrift Shop. The volunteers show God’s compassion to people who need assistance with food and clothing. The volunteer schedule is flexible and varied. The program includes the availability of an Immigration Counselor once a month and referral services through local agencies, Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Food Pantry provides emergency food packages which supply 3 meals a day for 3 days for each member of a family. People requesting assistance must live within the geographic boundaries of the parish. In addition to food donations from Long Island Cares and U.S. Government Commodities, the pantry relies on donations from our parishioners.

Text Box:  St. Vincent de Paul Society

Vincentians become personally acquainted through home visits with those in need - the abandoned with children to feed, the elderly, the jobless – by offering hope and assistance to find solutions to their problems. We meet monthly to pray for guidance and deepening our own spirituality and to assess the needs of those we serve.
