Bottles and Cans for Redemption

Important Update

Cans and bottles for redemption are no longer accepted at the parish. We have partnered with Torrington Redemption Center and we encourage you to bring your redeemables to their facility. The parish receives a percentage of your redemptions.

Thank you for your continued support!
