“For when I was hungry, you fed me.” Volunteers from the parish travel to St. Patrick’s Hunger Center in Cleveland about 4 times each year to prepare and serve a meal. Volunteers are needed to prepare, serve and clean-up. If you aren’t able to go to the center, we also need bakers to provide home-baked goodies to serve along with the meal. These can be dropped off at Holy Angels prior to the trip to St. Patrick’s. Check back for the next date to volunteer to serve at St. Pat’s TO VOLUNTEER OR FOR MORE INFORMATION, contact Mary Anne Edwards (440) 247-0329
