Located in the basement of the Cathedral, St Michael's Food Pantry provides non-perishable food items for our neighbors in need every Thursday from 9am to 10:30am

Parishioners are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items every time they come for worship.

Our most-needed items are always bags of white rice, beans, cereals, pasta, sauce, and cans of tuna fish, meats, fruits, and vegetables.

If you would like to contribute but are unable to bring food, you can send it directly to the Cathedral at St. Michael's Cathedral 96 First Street, Passaic, NJ 07055, or make a monetary donation online here, selecting "St. Michael's Food Pantry".

Volunteers to serve our clients are always needed. If you would like to join our Pantry Team, please reach out to Mariann Gelenius at 201-723-8397.

A bit of its history... (text credits Fr. Jack Custer)

Thank you!

The Christopher Columbus School #8 in Garfield, led by Principal Kathleen Mazzola, held a Super Bowl Food Drive for the benefit of St Michael the Archangel Byzantine Catholic Cathedral. More than 20 bags of food essentials were donated and humbly accepted by Pantry Coordinator, Mariann Gelenius, on Monday February 9, 2026. May God Bless the children and faculty who helped to make this food drive such a success!
