Ecumenical soup kitchen

Pope Francis writes, "I want a Church which is poor and for the poor. They have much to teach us" (The Joy of the Gospel, 198). 


The Women's Alliance has for many years volunteered at the Ecumenical Soup Kitchen which is housed at the old Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church on 2nd Street. This past Saturday, December 28, just a few days after the celebration of the birth of Christ who came among us as a poor baby born in a manger, the Women's Alliance sponsored a meal at the Ecumenical Soup Kitchen. The cheese and meat was sliced and then the assembly line put together hoagies which was served to over 200 people. Here are a few picture of the gang at work. 

May we always keep in mind the words of Our Lord: "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me" (Matthew 25: 40).
