ENDING HUNGER: The Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown are collaborating with the Sisters of the Humility of Mary, Villa Maria, Pa., to combat hunger. Catholic Sisters Week is Monday through Friday. The annual event emphasizes all the good that avowed religious women contribute to society.
The two local communities, who separately offer many ministries in the Mahoning Valley, are asking lay partners also to answer the call to combat hunger.
Various parishes have been collecting canned goods for food banks including the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry and Second Harvest Food Bank.
The Diocese’s five Early Childhood Learning Centers have asked parents to collect food for either their local church pantries or St. Vincent de Paul.
