MULTI-CULTURAL PARTY
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all the wonderful volunteers who helped to
make our Second Multi-Cultural Party such a great success! The night

to have benefited from the generosity of so many. Through this generosity
and hard work, we were able to raise funds for our Parish Center! Our
community is very fortunate to have such wonderful generous and caring
people. Congratulations to all!!!
SPONSOR OF THE WEEK: Thanks to Philip A. Gentry, DDS, FAGD
Jeanette Coutin-Gentry, DDS (SMILE) for their Support.
FOOD PANTRY NEEDS
Since many of the families we serve through our Food Pantry have their
children at home during the summer, they are experiencing an increase
in their need for food. We are currently low on the following items:
peanut butter, jelly, cold cereal, soup, canned green beans, corn and
small bags of rice. We can especially use juice boxes for our homeless
population. Thank you and God bless you for your continued generosity.

FUND RAISING FOR HEALTH CENTER

our Church. This Center will provide many needed services such as health
screening, wellness information sessions and physician referrals. Additional
funds from local foundations, individuals, corporations and government
sources are required in order to fully support the Center. If you are
familiar with sources of funding for philanthropic programs, or if you
have work and/or social contact in this area, please contact Jo-Ann
Duggan in the Parish Office at 703-527-5500, ext 113. Thank you.
