Social Concerns Food Ministry

News from St. Therese Little Flower Church in Vineland, MN and associate pastor Fr. Jerry Schik, O.S.C. —

The Social Concerns Ministry of our parish has created an emergency food pantry. It is located adjacent to Father Jerry's office, and it is open seven days a week. It is heavily used on weekends when the schools are closed and children do not receive school lunches.

This emergency food pantry is very important to the people of the Mille Lacs area and the WOHVn-in-Faith Area Catholic Community parishes. We are extremely grateful to Father Jerry and our Social Concerns Ministry for this work!
