St. Mary’s coat drive reaches out to sister parish

RIDGEFIELD—In early November, St. Mary Parish in Ridgefield hosted a coat drive to benefit the First Communion and Confirmation programs of their sister parish, St. Peter’s in Bridgeport.

Over 85 coats were collected and distributed. In addition, St. Mary’s was able to donate $1,000 for Thanksgiving turkeys and food baskets for needy families from the proceeds of their turkey drive last year.
