Fulton, NY – Parishioners of St. Mary’s Church in Oswego recently presented Catholic Charities of Oswego County with adonation of baby gifts.  The items will be distributed to mothers in need through Catholic Charities’ Emergency Services program.

Judy Egan, coordinator of the Emergency Services program was happy to receive the donation and thankful that St. Mary’s thought of them.  “Parishioners of St. Mary’s wanted to do something special to help those in need in the community,” said Egan.  “They contacted us and asked if there was anything in particular we were in need of.  Since we were in need of items for infants and toddlers they graciously offered to help us out.”

For the past several weeks St. Mary’s collected “baby shower gifts” from its parishioners and presented the items to Catholic Charities of Oswego County.  “The parishioners of St. Mary’s were very generous and donated a wonderful assortment of gifts that will bring joy to many families throughout Oswego County,” added Egan.

Catholic Charities of Oswego County serves all people in need regardless of their religious affiliation. Primary funding sources for Catholic Charities of Oswego County’s programs are the United Way of Greater Oswego County, the Diocesan Hope Appeal, the County of Oswego and private donations by individuals and local companies and organizations.
