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" (Matt 25:35). We are instructed by the Church to perform corporal works of mercy which include 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 strives to fill these needs for all people in Westfield. We are asking for your help to continue our mission and 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 they are blessed and feel called to share their bounty. Could that be 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.

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

The St. Mary’s Meals Ministry is part of Take and Eat in the Diocese of Springfield. Our mission is to serve local seniors in need by preparing and delivering nutritious tasty meals. We prepare about 80 meals a month in the St. Mary’s High School cafeteria and have been doing so for the past 12 years. In 2022, we delivered more than 840 meals to seniors in Westfield.

“Many hands make light work.” We need volunteers to make this ministry successful: bakers, cooks, packers, and drivers are the primary positions. If you would like to serve this ministry and become a part of this group, please contact Jeffrey Koziol at (917) 270-8883 or [email protected].

Our parish music program is always in need of volunteers. We have four rotating Spanish-language ensembles that play once a month and rehearse on their own. We have an adult choir that rehearses on Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM and sings weekly at the 8:30 AM Mass. The Folk Group rehearses on Monday evenings at 6:00 PM and sings at the 10:00 AM Mass.

The children's choir is currently only being run through the parish school. We hope to have an option for public school students in the near future!

There is no prior experience necessary to join these ensembles, just a willingness to sing and to learn! If you are interested in more information, please contact Rob Lepage or visit the choir loft after Mass.
