There are lots of ways to make your contribution to the life of the Church, both locally and farther afield.
CAN YOU HELP?
The St. Vincent de Paul Society ~ When you have items to donate - remember us Please call the parish centre at 392-3767 during office hours to arrange pick-up. Become a volunteer.
Help to feed the hungry in our own community by bringing non-perishable food items to the church on the last Sunday of each month. Just leave the groceries inside the church near the centre doors and they will be given to the Trenton Care & Share Food Bank for distribution.
Help feed the hungry elsewhere by clicking once a day on The Hunger Site. Yes, it really is that simple!
