Mary Gentry

Mary has been a parishioner of St. Monica for 16 years, since 2009. She has been faithfully serving as a Helping Hands volunteer for some 2 plus years. Although it’s been a short time, Mary does it all for this ministry, from planning, shopping, preparing in the kitchen, serving, greeting the families, and staying for cleanup after each reception. She does it with great compassion and commitment. This ministry could not survive without the support of exemplary volunteers such as Mary Gentry, who wants to serve to help family members after a funeral, by offering food and comfort with a reception in our Family Center, alleviating them of worry and work during their time of need. Mary also serves as a member of the Catholic Daughters of America. She is a remarkable woman who attends the daily 6:45am Mass without fail. It is with great honor that Helping Hands recognizes Mary Gentry as the Volunteer of 2025!
