Please think about taking the time to pick up an item or two for our local families in need. Following is a list of items needed to stock the shelves: Laundry/dish detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, feminine products, shampoo/conditioner/ combs/brushes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bar soap, deodorant, razors, and shaving cream. The Linen Ministry needs gently used blankets and towels.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN Thank you to everyone who continues to give to St. Nick's capital campaign.
