Forget-Me-Not Weekend (Monthly Food Collection)
Non-perishable food donations are collected at the Parish Center on the first weeked of every month. The St. Patrick Food Pantry supplies food to the Father English Center and our sister parish Our Lady of Victories, both located in Paterson, N.J. Both rely on the generosity of our parish to feed nearly 3,000 people each month. You can help by donating non-perishable food the first weekend of every month and at our special food collections for Thanksgiving and Easter. You can drop off your donation any time on those dates at the Parish Center. These are the collection dates for the rest of 2009. Your generosity is deeply appreciated!
