FEEDING OUR NEIGHBORS: Archdiocesan Food Drive.
Thank you for the overwhelming response to last week’s Food Drive! By the end of the drive, 50 boxes were filled to overflowing with canned goods, rice, pasta and sauce, tuna fish, baby food, cereal, and many other items. The donations were picked up by grateful staff members of the Community Pantry at the Church of St. Gregory the Great on West 90th Street. God bless you for your generosity!

Postcard Campaign for Habitat for Humanity-NYC after all Masses This Weekend. Coming Home: These words conjure up very personal sentiments for each of us. Home is a place to gather and celebrate with family and friends. It is a place to be contemplative and to rest from the demands of our daily lives. It is something that should be accessible to everyone. In 2012, Habitat For Humanity-NYC remains committed to promoting affordable housing and financial stability for all New Yorkers. Each year we gather as a community of faith here in God’s house to lend our support to the efforts being made by our friends at Habitat For Humanity-NYC who work tirelessly to make the idea of “coming home” possible for many working families in our city. Please join members of Ignatian Social Justice in the Narthex after all Masses this weekend to sign a postcard to our legislators to advocate for affordable home-ownership.
