Join us at Thrillz this Sunday as St Mary's new youth group kicks off with a visit to the adventure park in Danbury. Our plans for fun continue with an afternoon of archery on Nov 17 at St Mary's. Join us and try for a bull's eye! We are also planning a few opportunities to help others in the coming months. Space is available on the next Midnight Run into NYC to assist the homeless, and we also invite you to join us next month on a local shopping trip for the Interfaith Food Pantry in Pleasantville.

Food Pantry Shopping Trip  Saturday, November 9, 4-5:30 The Interfaith Food Pantry in Pleasantville is in need of stocking up before the holidays! Our youth can help by participating in a shopping trip at Whole Foods. Funds from last spring's Souper Bowl fundraiser will be used to purchase Thanksgiving supplies for area families in need. Meet at St Mary's, and we will provide rides to and from Whole Foods with a stop at the pizzeria there following our shopping.

Archery at St Mary's  Sunday, November 17 3-5 pm On Sunday, Nov 17, we will present an afternoon of archery for all St Mary's youth.

Snacks provided. $20/participant. For details or to sign up, please email Cindy Forrest .
