Loaves and Fishes

St. Mary Church participates in Ardmore’s Loaves & Fishes efforts to help feed the needy. Seventeen local churches contribute food and periodically help distribute food to those who request food assistance.

Volunteers can look for notices in the weekly church bulletin for information regarding food donations needed for the week and when church members are needed to assist in distributing food items.

This is an excellent opportunity for high school students to earn community service hours. Ken or Carol McCall, 226-1983, can be contacted for more details.

Church Choir
Choir practice starts Tuesday, February 5th at 7:00 p.m. in the choir loft and will continue every Tuesday. Attendance at practice will determine if we have a choir for Advent.

St. Mary Thrift Shop
Open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday, Thursday and Friday. 223-8033 (only answered during business hours) or contact Kathryn Strong at 657-4024 for more information. The Thrift Shop is in need of volunteers. This is a great opportunity to do a service for your community. If you can help, please contact Kathryn.

St. Mary Thrift Shop can only accept small household goods, dishes, pots and pans, knickknacks, clothing, and bedding due to a lack of space. If you have large appliances or furniture you wish to donate you can contact St. Lawrence Guild at 223-7544 and they will use these items for the needy they serve. Thank you for all your donations!
