in our community who are having difficulty just getting along. Your donations may be left in the bins at the front entrance of the church. Thank you for all your help and concern. As always the Wellesley Food Pantry thanks St Paul parishioners for their consistent generosity. “The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt."
(St. Ambrose of Milan)
