Holiday Boutique and Christmas Dinner

Thank you for reaching out to share with our Saturday guests each week.   These are difficult times for most of our guests and they need to feel that they are not forgotten.  Your donations to the meal and volunteering not only feeds their body it uplifts their spirits and gives them hope.  Every week they lift you up in prayer before we start to serve.

The Holiday Boutique is November 23, 8am-2pm in the Herbert Johnson Hall.  This fundraiser supports the Free Christmas Day Dinner and the Sat, S.H.A.R.E. program during the year. We need your support if we are to continue our outreach to the community.  Please consider making a donation to the St. Agatha Table or the Silent Auction.  If you are not able to do this please help us spread the word by passing out flyers and inviting people to come and support the Boutique.  Please call 323-935-8127  to volunteer to help.
 
May God continue to bless you and all those who you hold dear and love.
Margie Nickleberry for the S.H.A.R.E. Ministry.

Weekend Update

Thank you Rachel Juarez for donating the entire meal and the QuinceaƱera girls for helping on Saturday June 28. The other opened calendar dates have been filled by Azalie Nickleberry, the youth group, and the quinceaƱeras, thank you Adriana.

  We have an increase in the number of guests that we serve on Saturdays and the number of people that ring the door bell in need of food and asking for work. We are attempting to fill their needs of food but the food runs out quickly with serving so many. We do realize that some of us in the parish too have felt the blow of this economy with the down sizing of jobs, the rise in the cost of gas, food, clothing and shelter. If we could pool are resources perhaps we can help our guests and one another weather this storm. A few of you can remember when we did this before how we reached out and shared with one another in our parish community. If we are to all survive in this economy we may need to go back to old neighborly ways. "sharing-" SHARE would like to stock the pantry shelves with canned and dry goods for anyone who is interested. Please, if you can help out in any way, donating from food to grocery gift cards, from gas card to bus tokens, from fruits to canned goods, please bring it to the PC Office and let them know that your giving a donation to SHARE.

   Thank you for always reaching out and giving hope to our guests. Let us now reach out to each other in love, respect and hope. May the Christ in you bless you, with his peace, grace, mercy love and hope.
