SSCM Students Give Thanks

In preparation for Thanksgiving, Students in Saint Cyril and Methodius School's 4th and 5th grades participated in a special 8:30AM Mass today, gifting the community with their song, lecturing, reciting Native American poetry and more.

They also collected pantry items so important to families in need, especially at this time of year, when everyone wants to be able to celebrate the holidays as best they can, during a time when gratitude is so crucial to finding everyday happiness.

The food items contributed by classrooms throughout the school will go to SSCM’s Parish Outreach Program in Deer Park. Local parishes and their volunteers are the lifeblood of parish social ministry on Long Island, where across the county, combined parish ministries include thousands of volunteers and serve as many as 75,000 people in need each year.
