"Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear
fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you
unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because
without me you can do nothing." - Jn 15:4-5 Excerpts from the
Lectionary for Mass ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD

Hope for Housing Food Card Sale
It is because of our Interfaith Hope for Housing program and
coalition we were able to help a senior in Paxton last week who did
not have oil in the house for heat and hot water. The recipient was
referred to us by the Senior Center. The good work of Hope for
Housing is growing, thank you! With HFH dollars we were able to
have oil delivered to the home, so they had hot water and heat.
Food cards to benefit the Hope for Housing Program sponsored by the
Interfaith Coalition To Prevent Family Homelessness will be
available next weekend May 5th and 6th. Your continued support of
this project is appreciated.
