Renewal – it works!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

DEA Drug Take-Back Drive-Thru

This week, Father Justin, as a member of SAFE in Southampton, proudly represented Saint Mary’s at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.

He helped set up for their RX Drug Take Back event. This important initiative provides a safe way for our community to properly dispose of unused or expired medications. Thank you to everyone involved in making this event possible!

Grateful for a Blessed Donation

We are grateful to share that Father Justin has blessed John Hilbert’s generous donation in support of the Youth Walk to the Blessings Box.

Thank you, John, for your kindness and commitment to helping our youth serve the community. Your generosity makes a meaningful difference!

Community Care in Action

Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church was honored to sponsor its first Multi-Specialty Screening Event, carried out by the Northwell Health team and led by Dr. Ouzounian. A total of 30 screenings were performed.

We are deeply grateful for their dedicated service to our community.

Services Provided:

• Blood Pressure Checks
• Lung, Breast & Colorectal Cancer Screenings (including first-time lung screening)
• Cancer Services Program Information

We thank all who participated and supported this important outreach, promoting health and well-being in our community.

We are honored to host this important visit, where members of our Mexican community will be able to access services such as passport applications, registrations, and more. This is a wonderful opportunity to support and serve our neighbors.
