Father Tom has approved the Sacrificial Giving Committee's recommendation to buy a new freezer for the Food Pantry at St John's / St Ann's Center in Albany.

St John's / St Ann's Center is an outreach ministry of Catholic Charities.  The food  pantry serves about 200 people per month.  It has been at its present site for 11 years and its aging freezers were in need of replacement.  The freezer that St Thomas bought for the Center replaces the two aging freezers and will store the bread and meat that is handed out to our hungry neighbors monthly.
