As part of our Thanksgiving Day Mass, November 25th, you are encouraged to bring a food item which you have prepared for your Thanksgiving meal, such as baked foods, preserves, casseroles, etc. It will be carried up during the preparation of the gifts procession and placed in front of the altar as a sign of blessing and bounty. After the Mass, you are encouraged to take your food item home and share a portion of it with someone who is less fortunate than yourself, such as an elderly neighbor or a poor person in your neighborhood.
