I didn't count them but guessing a dozen students came out to volunteer today. They were split into 3 groups which then rotated from doing morning hospitality (Handing out sack lunches and coffee), working on donated clothing and also up in the bagging area.

If not, here is a recipe for one but you may not be able to eat it until tomorrow....

Volunteers from the St. Clare Parish in Portland came in today to cook and prepare hot meals for tonight.

As I write this, I'm watching Father Tom waving to a passing fire truck, and he acknowledges them every time they pass while he's on the front line getting some sack lunches to the needy during Hospitality Hour. There was a good turnout of volunteers to make this happen smoothly today. 5 men and women that gave up some of their time to help out. Using a bullhorn (I think he needs a new one) he starts the hospitality hour with a prayer and blesses the crowd.

Yes, in most cases there is still daily mass which starts at 1205. Once mass has started, there will be no entry into the church. Use the far-right door and someone will let you in or if you hear a weird buzzing sound... that's someone buzzing you in, just pull on the door handle.

Special treat today... Staff member Joan made some burritos to go along with the sack lunches today. Warm in the hands and warm in the tummy.
