Fr. Pete says: Each week we distribute about 18 large tote bags of groceries to feed the families who depend on our food pantry. With summer approaching, our shelves are getting very bare. The people of St. Pat's are always very generous but the need continues to grow right here in our parish.

Can you help us supply our families with any of the following items on our "grocery" list? Non-perishable foods, personal care items, and paper goods can be left in the church. Check with Deacon Paul at 815-727-4746 for delivery of perishable items.
