"Simply Soup"

a concrete (delicious and nutritious) expression of our parish mission: "where one can feel the loving embrace of God". Our work is directed to "feeding the hungry" as our Lord asks in the Gospel.

Volunteer parishioners provided containers of soup to Catholic Charities and Branches in Rio Grande, and Lazarus House in Wildwood for distribution to the families and individuals they serve.

The soup is made fresh each month in the kitchen in our Parish Hall. Volunteers prepare, package, and delivee the soup. For this work of mercy, donations came in other forms as well. This money was used for pots, pans, kitchenware, produce, and soup package materials (microwavable containers, plastic utensils, napkins, crackers, and labels). Several local businesses contributed by offering produce for free or at a reduced price.

We are grateful to God and to all of you for the wonderful and generous outpouring of support. In the name of Jesus, you bring to life our faith, our parish mission and so add goodness to the lives of our neighbors in need.
