Outreach is gearing up to make Easter a happy holiday for local children who may not otherwise receive a visit from the Easter Bunny.
On Sunday, March 7th, we will be collecting Easter baskets, Easter candy and small toys in the church parking lot from 11:30 to 1:30. In addition, we will be collecting new and gently used children’s springtime clothing. The event will be rescheduled should the weather not cooperate. Thank you.
Outreach is asking parishioners to make casseroles for SHIP during the month of January. Any and all types of casseroles are welcome but those that contain protein are greatly needed.
In addition, SHIP is requesting pop top cans of meats, particularly sardines, Vienna sausages, beef hash or any other type of canned meat you find. They receive many cans of tuna but not other meats. They must be the pop top type of cans. If you can drop your donations at the SHIP office (87 E High St. Somerville) please tell them you are from St. Martin’s. They close their office at 2:00 p.m. If you would like your donation picked up and delivered to SHIP please call Marlene.
