Lancaster Region Service Projects and Special Masses
The Lancaster region gathered for Mass, dinner and a meeting to plan the service projects and special Masses for the coming months.
Hospitaller Chris Gibbons presented a $25,000 Federal Association grant to Tara Hauber of Catholic Worker House, a project supported by the region. Members serve at this unique soup kitchen where the hungry are welcomed to sit at tables in a café setting while being served restaurant-style. “Our lords are treated with dignity”, according to Tom Kingston, KM, who is leading the project. The grant will be used to rebuild the kitchen.
Chris announced participation in a fall coat drive, including donating coats purchased from the Oklahoma Region. The region is also planning an All Souls Day Mass for deceased malades and members, a fall retreat, the annual Mass for Life in January, a Defense of the Faith presentation, and volunteering with a refugee family. The meeting closed with Night Prayer.
