The Social Justice Commission is sponsoring a Lenten given project based on the 7 Corporal Works of Mercy.
Lent is a time for prayer, fasting, and giving. With that in mind, our commission is sponsoring a Lenten giving project based on the 7 Corporal Works of Mercy:
- Feed the hungry.
- Give water to the thirsty.
- Clothe the naked.
- Shelter the homeless.
- Visit the sick.
- Visit the imprisoned.
- Bury the dead
The 3 crosses in the church entrance have giving tags for multiple local, national, and international organizations. There are giving tags for each of the Corporal Works of Mercy. There is a tag for each organization with a giving suggestion on one side and information about each organization on the other side. There are also marked collection bins for some of the local organizations.
We also have a prayer card for The Corporal Works of Mercy with original artwork donated by Jo Myers-Walker. You may have seen her artwork for sale on our Fair Trade table. These cards are available at the church entrance. Please take one home with you.
The project started on Ash Wednesday and will end on Palm Sunday. There are 1461 families in our parish. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could perform 1461 works of mercy during the Lenten season?
Thank you for your attention and your generosity.
