Missions: Our parish offers several opportunities to help our less
fortunate brothers and sisters. Once or twice a year we have a Missionary
speak at the weekend Masses about the needs of the Mission churches of
Africa/India/South America/Asia. Many parishioners are faithful in
financially supporting the Propagation of the Faith Society which
funds mission churches in remote parts of the world. Our young Catholics are
very generous to Holy Childhood Association and have opportunities to
contribute from their ‘wealth’ during Advent, Lent, and also participate in
Global Strides walk/run held usually the last Saturday of February.

“Amen,
I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine,
The Hunger Site
Every 3.6 seconds,
someone dies of hunger. 75% are children. You can make a difference.
Visit The Hunger Site
(http://www.thehungersite.com/home)
every day and donate cups of food for the world's hungry -- at no cost to you.
When you click on the "Give Free Food" button on the home page of The Hunger
Site, funding is generated for the purchase and distribution of staple food
to those in need. Funds are paid by site sponsors. In 2000, daily clicks
yielded over $3.4 million for the frontline hunger relief
organizations working to provide food and hope to the hungry around the world.
That's over 20 million pounds of food made possible by people like you, who
simply took a moment to click a button each day.
The Hunger Site helps people in most desperate need; earthquake victims in El
Salvador, those left adrift in war-torn Eritrea, families on the brink of
starvation in drought-stricken North Korea, and many more. Right now, in
response to the December 26 Tsunami, our partners Mercy Corps and
America’s Second Harvest are using funding from the Hunger site to provide
food, water and health services to refugees and support to those unemployed and
needy in the aftermath.”
Please make visiting The Hunger Site part of your daily routine. The number of people clicking on the "Give Free Food" button directly ties to the amount of food that goes to the hungry. Thanks for your help! http://www.thehungersite.com/home
