    • Just One Item Campaign

      Our Just One Item Campaign occurs on the third weekend of each month. If EVERYONE who worships at Old St. Mary’s brings just one roll of toilet paper, or bar of soap, or tube of toothpaste, or container of deodorant, etc., we can help so many in need. When shopping, think about purchasing something “extra” for our neighbors at St. James.  Look for sales at Walgreen’s, Target, OSCO, or the Dollar Store.  For the business travelers in our parish, we will always keep a basket under our table in the Commons for your convenience.
