FR. GARY'S PANTRY NEEDS HELP! January 23, 2011 Despite the cold and damp weather, St. Peter parishioners are a very caring and giving group. We donated 1,309 food items to Fr. Gary's parish food pantry. By collecting food monthly, St. Peter parish helps make other peoples‟ lives better and respond to Jesus' call to feed Him when He is hungry. Thank you for donating.

Deutschmann Room-Ursuline Hall. Scholarship money is available for those who need it. To register, please drop by Ursuline Hall or call Cathy Herrmann at 314-822-1347. For those of you who are not aware of why and how this food pantry collection got started please read below: After visiting with Fr. Gary Meier, former associate at St. Peter, now pastor of Sts. Teresa & Bridget (located on Grand & N. Market, St. Louis City), he explained how his parish and community are in great need. They have a food pantry that serves their area, open one day a week for 3 hours. Even though another county parish supplies canned goods once a month, the high demand keeps their shelves bare. They have had to reduce what they're able to give to those who come for help to a bag that holds just enough food for 2 meals. THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN. By collecting canned goods MONTHLY we can help make other peoples' lives better and respond to Jesus' call to feed Him when He is hungry. Donations are delivered on the 3rd Monday of every month. Please bring canned food in plastic bags about 4 days prior to the monthly delivery date (3rd Monday each month) to our home, placing it on the front porch. A list of items needed and delivery dates is located in The Gathering Area in the back of church. Thank you for your support and generosity.
