SNAP WEEK---October 6,7,and 8
In an attempt to better serve our neighbors with nutritional needs here in the Richmond area during this pandemic, we are inviting parishioners to donate items which cannot be purchased with SNAP money. SNAP, formerly TANF, is a supplemental nutrition assistance program for low income people.
In the lower hallway next to the parish offices, on October 6, 7 and 8, there will be a table marked: SNAP where you may leave your donations any time between 9 am and 3 pm Monday through Friday. ITEMS NEEDED: package of 12 rolls ( or equivalent) of toilet paper, three roll packs of paper towels, Kleenex box of 144 two ply tissues, baby wipes, Clorox or Lysol wipes or spray, 19-20 oz bottles of dishwashing liquid, 25-42 load containers of laundry detergent. THIS MONTH, we are adding: dry pasta, spaghetti sauce, Cheerios or other unsweetened cereal, canned tuna, and canned fruit in its own juice. These items are among the most requested, and will re-stock our Human Concerns food pantry. We ask that you please bring only the items listed in order to simplify our storage and distribution . Excesses received will be distributed within the City of Richmond.
We appreciate your support of this extended nutritional outreach. Your generous donations of these items will allow individuals and families to use their Wal-Mart or Kroger gift cards for fresh vegetables , dairy products and meat. For more information, or questions, contact Rebecca in the parish office at ext 111, or roxenreider@stmarysrichmond.org.

Baptism Information
As our community deals with COVID-19, we want to offer families as many options as possible so that the Baptism of their child may take place in a context that is both safe and joyful.
For the remainder of the year 2020, we are happy to invite families to schedule Baptisms at either a Weekend Mass, or in a more private celebration on a Saturday with one of our deacons. Since COVID regulations constantly evolve, we will reassess all Baptism options and develop a plan for how and when this sacrament will be celebrated in 2021. We anticipate that we will be able to share more details about this plan by the beginning of January, at which time we will be in a position to start scheduling additional Baptisms. We are grateful for your patience and understanding!
