• A call for more involvement: I am looking for a few more couples, or singles to help with doing Catholic Worker meals. At present, 5 individuals are covering these meals doing one 4x a year. Over the years, 10 or more, we had three groups each doing a meal 4x a year, but people have needed to drop off due to age and health concerns. If we could get several new people, we may be able to form a second group, or just give the regulars a break. Let me know if you are able to help with this much-needed ministry of our parish. Additionally, we have found that when a couple signs up, one can cook, and one can deliver…(:
