Feed My Lambs Thank you !
The response to our Lenten Alms-giving this year was overwhelming. Thank you for all who participated. We, as a parish, helped the follow-ing organizations – Harford Fam-ily House, Our Daily Bread, Mann House, Homecoming Project Inc., Harford Community Action Agency, the Prison Ministry and Welcome One Shelter. Together we have helped to stock their shelves, allowing dollars to be spent for other resources, which is a blessing. Mother Teresa said it best, “It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” Thank you for making this year
a success!
