As Christians, we are called to serve others as Jesus did. At the end of each"Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours," - Teresa of Avila

The Faith & Light group submitted 30 minutes of service - "Last Saturday, the Faith and Light group made 100 bologna and cheese sandwiches for MUST ministries. These sandwiches will be distributed at lunch time to those who are hungry."
35 teens and parents gathered on a Saturday morning to help 3 parishioners & one of the
Sheltering Grace Houses with yard work. It was amazing that we could get that much accomplished in just 4 hours. Thanks to everyone who came out to serve!
