St. Mary's Parish

We are all so grateful for so many things during the Thanksgiving Season. Every year the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, located at St. Mary's Church in Westfield, is truly overwhelmed by so many generous food & monetary contributions given by the Westfield community and local businesses; allowing us once again to help more than 130 local families so much in need.

We are also particularly grateful for the continued support of our St. Mary's Parish Community, Men of St. Joseph, the CCD and St. Mary's School students, and the El Camino and Latino Ministries. As in previous seasons the response of the Westfield Community to helping our neighbors in times of need remains amazing. God's blessings to you all!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

We are all called to help those in need. God, our Father, asks us through the prophets to look out for the widow. Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, “I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me drink”. We are instructed by the Church to perform acts of corporal mercy which consist of feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, and burying the dead.

Here, at St. Mary’s Church in Westfield, the St. Vincent de Paul Society attempts to fulfill these needs for all people in Westfield. We are asking for your help so that we can continue our mission and to allow you the opportunity to give to local families whose future is not secure. Our recipients are the elderly, the sick, families, and children. Our donors are people who realize that they are blessed and are called to share their bounty. Is that you?

If you feel that you can help our cause, Thank You! Please send a check to St. Vincent de Paul Society, 30 Bartlett St. Westfield, MA 01085.

The collection for the next Holy Day, All Saints Day, will be given to our parish charities, St. Vincent DePaul, Meals Ministry & Laundry Love. We ask that you please be generous in your envelopes & what is put in the collection basket.

St. Vincent de Paul Food donations can be left at the back of the church in our basket. You are also welcome to join us. We meet on the second Monday of every month in the parish center at 86 Mechanic Street at 7:00 pm. God bless you!
