The parish collected 644 pounds of food for the Durham Community Food Pantry the weekend of June 22 and 23.
Catholic Charities' Durham Community Food Pantry continues to need assistance in stocking special diet items for our neighbors in needs who have dietary restrictions, particularly those who are diabetic.
Going forward, a specially marked box will be in the Atrium to collect items for our neighbors in need who have special diets. Way to go, Holy Infant!
