Distributing Food to the Homeless on the Feast of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Thank you to this month's volunteers.
Thursday, October 3rd, members of the Constantinian Auxiliary prepared and distributed food to the homeless in Chinatown and Two Bridges, New York on the Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Meeting at the Church of the Transfiguration (29 Mott St.), volunteers prepared 40 care packages replete with toiletries and ready to eat food, including containers of freshly cooked penne marinara generously donated by our dear friends at Caffé Napoli (191 Hestor Street) in Little Italy.

Once again, we want to thank Antonio, Anna and Konstantinos Mavrianos-Cesare of the St. Rocco Society for their hard work and dedication. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you Louis Fontana of Caffé NapoliDama Luisa Cristofano and her son Charles; and Cav. Charles Sant’Elia for your continued assistance. Your heartfelt generosity and selflessness is greatly appreciated. And as always, special thanks to Pastor Lo for your support and blessings. It is an honor to serve with such an outstanding group of people. God Bless you all. IHSV

The next walk will be on Thursday, November 7th—the Feast of the St. Melasippus of Ancyra—at 7:00 PM. Anyone interested in supporting this charitable endeavor can contact Cav. John Napoli at jnapoli@smocsg.org or Anna Mavrianos-Cesare at MsAnnaNY@aol.com.
Participants said a prayer for the homeless and prayed the Rosary
