The Saint Winifred Food Pantry is funded and operated by a coalition of eight churches: Saint Anne, Saint Bernard, Saint Germaine, Saint John Capistran, Saint Louise de Marillac, Saint Norbert, Saint Thomas More, and Saint Winifred. It survives primarily through donations and food drives by members of these churches and the generosity of numerous faith groups and organizations throughout our local community. The Food Pantry is open on Wednesday and Saturday from 10:00 - 11:00 am and food delivery is available to shut-ins on Saturdays.
The Saint Winifred Hands of Love Ministry is a group of knitters and crocheters who meet twice a month in the O'Shea Center to create chemo caps, prayer shawls, lap robes, baby hats and booties and socks for those in need. No experience is necessary to participate as our members are willing to teach anyone who is interested. Hands of Love meets the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. If you would like to get involved, please contact Joannie Brown to inquire.
Founded in 1833, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul serves local individuals in need on a person-to-person level. Members meet on a weekly basis and are devoted to a deeper embrace of the Gospel message through prayer and community outreach. Serving the local community, members provide one-on-one visitation and consultation, as well a financial support for those in distress. If you are interested in becoming more involved in this ministry or if you know of someone in need, please contact the parish office.
