The St. Martin de Porres Food Pantry is in need of reusable cloth bags (big enough for groceries) and plastic grocery bags. We are implementing a “Client Choice” pantry and we will need these bags for our neighbors in need as they “shop” for the food in the pantry. Please place your bags in the SMdP Food Donation Box in the narthex of the church or drop them off at the pantry. Thank you.

The staff and some parishioners of Holy Cross received an email that looked as if it was from Fr. Jude Michael and it asked donations. Please know that this is a scam. Fr. Jude Michael would not email parishioners with such a request. Please check with the parish office if you believe you have received a fraudulent email. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Friends of St. Martin’s food pantry here at Holy Cross need your help! We are in need of volunteers who can assist us with greeting clients, inputting data into the computer, obtaining signatures, and packing/distributing fresh produce to the clients. Click here for more details.
