Both of our parishes were recently awarded grants from the Diocesan Social Justice Trust Fund Grant Program, which is funded by the 2017 Diocesan Annual Appeal. Nativity BVM received a $2,000.00 grant on behalf of the Seven Loaves Soup Kitchen in Tunkhannock. St. Mary of the Lake received a $2,000.00 grant on behalf of the Lower Wyoming County Food Pantry in Lake Winola. We thank our parishioners of both parishes who volunteer their time in support of these worthy community programs.
