Easter Offering. This year St, Mary’s will be allocating $275 from the Easter offering to the purchasing of groceries for one of Regina’s community fridges. A community fridge is a refrigerator located in a public space that enables food to be shared within a community. As the demand for food banks continues to increase, these fridges are an important support for those who may not have enough to feed themselves or their families.
Regina’s three community fridges can be found at
1) 1510 12th Avenue
2) 3037 Dewdney Ave
3) Cathedral Fridge is located on east parking lot of Holy Rosary Cathedral.
If you are able, we encourage you to consider donating.
