Next week we will take up the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. Right now, over 40 percent of dioceses in the United States are considered home mission territory because they are unable to fund the essential pastoral work needed in their communities. Your support of this appeal helps ease the struggle of these dioceses. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this appeal.

SMM Food Pantry

The Food Pantry ministry is an important ministry at St. Mary Magdalene providing help to those in need in our area. The SMM Food Pantry operates every Wednesday morning and is one of the few pantries in the area that

provides a meal in addition to providing food supplies. Each week, about twenty parishioners are involved in interviewing and registering qualified clients, preparing meals in the kitchen, and retrieving, organizing, packaging and distributing food supplies to our clients. The SMM Food Pantry purchases our food supplies from the East Texas Food Bank and typically serves 40-80 clients per week at a cost of $500-1000. The Food Pantry also coordinates with the ALMS committee to provide additional assistance to clients in the form of gas cards and store gift cards, as funds allow.

Considere ser voluntario en la Despensa de la iglesia que sirve a 40-80 familias cada semana. La Despensa abre cada Miércoles de 9:30am- 11:30am
