Using a baseball metaphor in a recent news release, Janet Dorwart, the clerk of session at Presbyterian Church of Catasauqua, said, “Once again, the congregation and friends of the Presbyterian Church of Catasauqua, Second and Pine streets, hit it out of the ballpark with donations for the Catasauqua (Community) Food Bank.”

The clerk of session’s duties are to take minutes of meetings by the church session, maintain all of the church’s ledgers of membership, births, baptisms, deaths and elders and promote activities held by the church.

The session, according to the Presbyterian polity, is defined as the group of elected local church leaders that govern, in this case, the Presbyterian Church of Catasauqua.

Dorwart noted the church has been collecting donations of nonperishable food items on the second Friday of each month for delivery to help support the borough food bank, located at 527 Front St.

“We will continue to do so (collect and deliver food to the food bank) as long as there is a need,” Sue Bocian, chair of the church mission committee, said, about the church’s continued efforts to support the food bank.
