Distributing Food to the Homeless on the Feast of Sant'Adriano di Canterbury

Thank you to this month's volunteers.

Thursday, January 9th, members of the Constantinian Auxiliary prepared and distributed food to the homeless in Chinatown and Two Bridges, New York on the Feast of St. Adrian of Canterbury. Meeting at the Church of the Transfiguration (29 Mott St.), volunteers prepared care packages replete with toiletries, winter hats, gloves, scarves, 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 Napoli; and Cav. John Napoli 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, February 6th—the Feast of St. Alfonso Maria Fusco—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.

Before heading to the church, we picked up the food from Caffé Napoli.
