St. Anthony of Padua Holy Name Society hosts Mercy House fundraiser

ENDICOTT — A dinner to benefit Mercy House of the Southern Tier was held by St. Anthony’s Holy Name Society in Endicott April 19. A delicious chicken and manicotti dinner was served to over 400 attendees and the event raised $3,500 to benefit Mercy House, which will provide a home and care to people with terminal illnesses. The Holy Name Society extends its appreciation to the community for its generosity and offers a special thank you to Felix Roma Bakery for their donations and to Holy Name Society members and their families who volunteered their time to make this event a success.
