Abby’s Angels Foundation has been chosen by the 25th anniversary committee as a
local non-profit who will receive the generous help from parishioners of St. Mary Magdalene as part of the outreach celebrating this milestone in the parish.

The weekend of February 17 and 18, we were given the opportunity to have tables in the narthex to explain and allow parishioners to sign up for volunteer opportunities for Abby’s Angels Rainbow Run and Family Fun Day, or register to participate in the run.  We are very thankful and humbled at the sign up and support we received.  Some of you may not have been able to sign up or would like more information about different opportunities.
