Saints Cyril and Methodius 4th and 5th Graders Collect for Parish Outreach
Fourth and fifth graders at Saints Cyril and Methodius School in Deer Park filled many-a-box from their own pantries for those in need.
Students from Saints Cyril and Methodius Elementary School in Deer Park collected pantry items so important to families in need, especially at this time of year, when everyone wants to be able to celebrate the holidays as best they can, during a time when gratitude is so crucial to finding everyday happiness. SSCM’s fourth and fifth grade students gave of their time and talent, as well as their collected food items, as they prepared and ran the 8:30am Mass at SSCM, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving- gifting community members with their song, lectoring, and more.
The food items contributed throughout the school will go to SSCM’s Parish Outreach Program. Local parishes and their volunteers are the lifeblood of parish social ministry on Long Island. Across Long Island, combined parish ministries include thousands of volunteers and serve as many as 75,000 people in need each year.
