| Simply Soup
"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 "Branches" in Rio Grande, Lazarus House in Wildwood and Victorian Towers in Cape May 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 deliver 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 will continue the mission. We invite your participation. Our first soup dates are October 7 after the 11:00AM Mass, and October 8 at 10:00AM. "Many hands make work light." A special thank you to Tony's Produce in the Villas who provides us with our fresh vegetables monthly. 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.
