Both parishes surveyed their parishioners last autumn to see what service times they preferred. Both parishes selected these two times.

Thanksgiving will be here again in a few weeks and here at St. Mark’s Pet Pantry we are hoping the good and faithful folks that always come through for us and allow us to stay open, will once again make this happen.
It’s been a busy expensive year but we have managed to help all who come each month. It varies between 140 to 150 families each month.
In October we helped to feed 196 dogs, 34 puppies and 610 cats, 114 kittens, not to mention the food we give extra to people to feed the feral cats, over a 1/3 of the cats total are feral.
Total amounts for the year to date from January are dry food 9,234lbs for dogs and 12,762lbs for cats.
We are grateful for any donations and any money donations sent direct to church. St. Mark’s Episcopal Church,335 Locust Street, Johnstown PA 15901 (814) 535-6797 Donations of food can be sent by Chewy or dropped at church Tues to Friday 10am to 3pm.
