The Hagerty Center, which was originally constructed to serve as a convent and presently houses The Sisters of Our Lady of La Salette, now functions most notably as the site for the St. Mary of the Lake Food Pantry, operated by the St. Mary of the Lake conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in partnership with our sharing parish, Immaculate Conception (Talcott Ave.).  

Every two weeks Deacon Paul Spalla and others pick up a large amount of food for our pantry.  That food is distributed to the needy in our parish on Wednesday and Friday Mornings.

The conference also works with the Food Depository of Greater Chicago to supply food to feed the hungry of this neighborhood.  Weekly trips are made by Andres and Juan to the depository.  For more information about the Hagerty Center Food Pantry, call Soccoro Muñoz, the Director, at (773) 525-8610
