You must also have completed the diocesan Virtus Program and be in compliance with it to work with our youth. 1st Sunday of the Month is always Community Hope Food Barrel Sunday! It’s hard to believe that in our country ( in Laurel) there are families in need — but there are. If you have extra or want to give out of your own need do what our new Pope Francis asks us to do— be a church for the poor. I have a friend who grouses every time he sees a call for help for the poor. His main premise is that “...in this great country of ours everyone has a chance to work. Anyone can better themselves if they work hard enough. ” He even told me once that “a little hunger goes a long way toward dad getting up off the couch to dig the potatoes.” The truth is that at one point we all need a helping hand. Scripture tells us that even the prodigal son would have died without the husks that his master’s hogs wouldn’t eat. Yes there are “government places” to get aid. Yes, there are folks who take advantage. So what? Perhaps you can’t fix it—but you can feed a child! And as the young man who helped carry victims away from the Boston bombing this week stated,“ That is why when someone needs help, when the chips are down, they ( badness) will never win. We are Americans and we care.” So we haven’t asked for food for quite a while. Betty and Bob Saxbury are two devoted parishioners who give there time and talent and money to FILL THE BARREL. Where there is hunger let’s be part of filling the need. Where there is worry about how to feed the kids for the last week of every month—let St Anthony parishioners be the answer. We can fill those empty shelves with loads of love in the form of nutrition. Bring any non-perishable items to mass and Fill the Barrel at the main church entrance. And remember you don’t need to deliver the goods once a month. Practice the gift of (Food Love) every Sunday! HOPE IS CONTAGIOUS - SPREAD SOME TODAY!
