Community Meal Program St. Maria Goretti parishioners provide lunch once per month for the hungry at St. Paul's University Catholic Center on the UW-Madison Campus. Many parishioners provide a portion of the meal and volunteers transport and serve the food on the second Thursday of each month. Participation is encouraged in a small or large way as your time permits.
Some participants work through their lunchtime.
Some are on the substitute list only. This is a service that is provided to family and friends after the funeral Mass of a parishioner, if it is so requested. Many parishioners are needed to donate salads and desserts. Other parishioners volunteer to prepare, serve and clean up. The Eucharistic minister prays with the homebound parishioner, proclaims the Word of God and distributes Communion.
