Collection Report

SMM Food Pantry

The Food Pantry ministry is an important ministry at St. Mary Magdalene providing help to those in need in our area. The SMM Food Pantry operates every Wednesday morning and is one of the few pantries in the area that provides a meal in addition to providing food supplies. Each week, about twenty parishioners are involved in interviewing and registering qualified clients, preparing meals in the kitchen, and retrieving, organizing, packaging and distributing food supplies to our clients. The SMM Food Pantry purchases our food supplies from the East Texas Food Bank and typically serves 40-80 clients per week at a cost of $500-1000. The Food Pantry also coordinates with the ALMS committee to provide additional assistance to clients in the form of gas cards and store gift cards, as funds allow.

Thursday, February 8, Saint Jerome Emiliani – died in 1537 of the plague; Venetian soldier whose conversion led to the founding 1534 of the Clerks Regular of Somascha (C.R.S.), today numbering about 530 members; dedicated to the poor and the education of youth; patron of orphans and abandoned children. Saint Josephine Bakhita, Virgin – Josephine was born around 1869 in Sudan and raised in the Islamic faith. Kidnapped as a child by slave traders, she was given the name, “Bakhita,” meaning “lucky one.” She was sold to a number of owners until she was purchased around the age of twelve by the Italian Consul Callisto Legnani. He brought her to Italy and, while serving as a nanny, was sent to live with the Canossian Sisters in Venice. There she was formally introduced to the faith, baptized Giuseppina, and eventually granted her freedom. In 1896 she joined the Conossian Daughters of Charity, and for twenty-five years served her sisters as cook, seamstress, and portress at their houses in Venice, Verona, and Schino. She was especially beloved by her students for her sweet nature and musical voice. After a long and painful illness she died in 1947. Pope John Paul II canonized this first Sudanese saint 1 October 2000 as a witness to evangelical reconciliation and a model of freedom.
