If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well," but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:15 - 17 |
| September 5, 2007: The Second Major Food Give-Away, in cooperation with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, took place. |
| DePaul University students came. |
| The Youth Group from St. Paul of the Cross in Park Ridge came (again!) |
| Bernard, a pastoral associate at his parish in Germany, took time from his six-week stay in the U.S. to serve. |

September 2007
| Question 1 Who are the people we serve? |
| Many are the same kids who are waiting for Kelly Hall to be renovated so we can start great programs that will keep them off drugs and off the streets. Thanks to the volunteers for putting smiles on these beautiful faces! |
| Question 2: Who heard the call to serve and responded? |
| Knights of Malta and other gentlemen showed true hospitality to the residents who came. |
| Parishioners from St. Paul of the Cross and from other places came to work on a hot September day. |
Pray for vocations! To check out their web site Click HERE! |
| Answer 2: Men, women, young, old, rich and not so rich, from near and far, lay and religious, heard the call and responded-- good people just like you. |
As an extra treat, used bikes were raffled off to the neighborhood kids- a huge hit!!! What "treasures" do you have laying around the house, garage or office? |
| For each of the seven bikes, Fr. Bob called for a drum roll, drew a name, announced the winner (to wild cheers), and then congratulated the happy owner of a (almost new) bike. |
| This little guy was taking no chances. He was guarding his choice! |
| Almost 2000 years ago… And 6204 miles from Chicago… A handful of disciples set out to change the World. You are reading this because of their work. You can make a difference. You are meant to make a difference. Have a beautiful day! |
