Join the Beyond Cornerstone Service Ministry for a planning meeting supporting their work with St. Augustine’s Soup Kitchen!  We will be meeting on March 9, 2022, at 7:00 PM in the Parish Center.  All are welcome as we recruit new volunteers to help us serve those in need. 

The Beyond Cornerstone Service Ministry supports the Missionary Sisters of St. Mother Theresa at St. Augustine’s Soup Kitchen in their efforts to provide meals to those in need.

They request financial support from parishioners to meet this mission.  Please consider placing a check for any amount in the collection basket or the lockbox at the parish center. Please designate that the donation is specifically for the soup kitchen in the memo line.

If at this time, you are unable to provide support financially, we are also in need of volunteers to shop for supplies, food, and water and to then help deliver items to the nuns.  Each month, our current volunteers plan and shop to feed about 150 people, including adults and children. The Sisters then prepare and distribute the meals for the community – this may be the only meal they will have all day for many of the guests.  We also seek donations of cases of water and, if you are able, assist with our twice a month delivery. 

If you are interested in participating in the Beyond Cornerstone Service Ministry, please reach out to Alicia at aliciavons@gmail.com or 973-715-5770.  You are also welcome to stop by any of our meetings! Make sure to keep an eye out in the weekly bulletin for upcoming meeting dates.
