OUR SOLIDARITY “SOUP AND BUN” ANNUAL LUNCHEON
A huge thank you goes out to all of those who helped make our Solidarity Soup & Bun a great success. Many thanks to all those who made soup and/or loaves, to Therese who made 12 dozen buns, and to the fantastic group of volunteers who assisted during the event, we couldn’t have done it without all your help. To everyone who came out to eat in solidarity with those in the Global South and gave generously, and to everyone who signed our petition, we are so grateful for your support. Through your generosity, we raised just over $1100 for our very worthy cause.
For anyone who was unable to attend and would still like to support Development & Peace, the Share Lent collection takes place on the weekend of April 5/6.
On behalf of our Parish, we also express a huge thanks to Susan Momot and Linda West and to our anonymous photographer.
