Saturday, November 23 from 4 to 5:15 p.m., St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Newton will host the incredible Labyrinth Choir, a professional, mixed vocal ensemble of 22 musicians, who will present a program of contemporary, classical, gospel, and Broadway songs reflecting the diverse, evocative emotions of gratitude, love and joy. The concert is free with a suggested donation of $40. All donations will go directly to support the good work of the Centre Food Pantry in Newton, who provide the surrounding communities with consistent and inclusive access to healthy food, with dignity and kindness. Sign up here beforehand; tickets will also be available at the door.
Once again this year, we have the opportunity to participate in the Hildebrand Family Self- Help Center 's Holiday Gift Drive and to give gifts to children who are living in homeless shelters or recently housed. All gifts must be delivered to the church by Sunday, November 24th. Winter items (blankets, hats, gloves, etc.) and gift cards may be given as well. Gifts may also be ordered through the Amazon Wish List.
The parish vestry voted in 2022 to go "mask friendly"; that is, unless otherwise indicated, masks are optional at Trinity Parish. Please note that, pending further guidance from the Diocese and local infection rates, the church may in future return to requiring face coverings for in-person gatherings.
Located at 11 Homer Street in Newton Centre on the lower level of Trinity Church, the Pantry is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a member of the Greater Boston Food Bank. It is open most Tuesdays from 2:30–5:30pm and the third Saturday of each month from 11:30am–2pm.
New households are asked to fill out the Online Pantry Registration Form or print and fill out this paper form. If you live in Newton and wish to be added to the CSFP delivery list, send an E-mail with your name, phone number, city, and family size. If you live in Boston, click here to find resources available for those in need of food.
