FROM THE MAILBOX--FOND MEMORIES OF THE FAIR TRADE MINISTRY--AND WHATEVER HAPPENED.....
A reader spotted the recent post from the Croton Senior Club highlighting John Lally's 90th birthday. This reminded him of the "Fair Trade Coffee" program at Holy Name. He wondered if it was still around.
Response: Fair Trade products are much more widely available---that is, commercially--than they had been in previous years.
The last report we have is from 2020 (click here).
Rather than speculate further, you should contact the church directly for more info at holynameofmary.org
