St. Andrew The Apostle Parish has put out a call to the community. The parish, which includes the churches of St. Damien of Molokai in Monongahela; Mary, Mother of the Church in Charleroi and Our Lady of the Valley in Donora, has provided a food bank service to the greater community for several years. As the churches officially merged together in January 2020, the food bank project has grown into a true mission for the parishioners.
