REFLECTIONS ON LIFE
“To claim the right to abortion,infanticide and euthanasia, and torecognize that right in law, meansto attribute to human freedom aperverse and evil significance;that of an absolute power overothers and against others.”

FOOD PANTRYWesley House
, our local food pantry, for the second year in a row, has been given the opportunity to double any gifts of food or money donated to them during the months of March and April. Mr. Alan Feinstein, Cranston, RI, has announcedthat he will match any donation of food or money contributed to Wesley House; they will receive $1.00 for each pound itemor dollar. If you wish to donate by check, please make it payable to Wesley House and have “Feinstein” on the memo line.
For your information.
***Our parish has supported the Wesley House food pantry for years. It is a great way to centralize the distribution of foodin our community. This eliminates the duplication of efforts. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Wichita subsidizes thesalary of a full time social worker, Alberta, at Wesley House. This is just one of the ways the Catholic Church providesassistance to those in need in the Pittsburg area.
