For the Manchester Office of Connecticut Department of Children, and families of Tolland Human Services & Vernon Social Services.
Like last year, COVID requires us to change things a bit, but it will not deter us from reaching out to those less fortunate. We are again asking parishioners to purchase gift cards, (from stores like: Stop & Shop, Walmart, Target, or gas cards etc.) which will be distributed to families in need.
For your convenience, gift cards will be on sale after all Masses at both St. Bernard & St. Matthew next weekend (April 2/3). Gift cards purchased at from either Church will help both those in need here at home as well as helping to support our parish Haiti Mission (our gift card sales are a fundraiser for our Haiti Mission).
Gift cards can be dropped off in the weekly collection basket or at either parish office.
Please drop off gift cards by the weekend of April 8/9.
Thank you again and again for your generosity and compassion at this most special time of the year.
