Annunciation Cathedral "Bags of Love" is Back!
The next bag assembly & distribution date will be held next Saturday, November 28th in the Kartos Ballroom in conjunction with preparation for the Soup Kitchen. Please take the time to assist with this great ministry. Bring your donations to the Shelf in Carlos Hall during office hours next week or on the day of assembly!
What is Bags of Love?
"Bags of love" is our mobile ministry to the needy and homeless. Each bag will be filled with non-perishable food and supplies desperately needed by the homeless and less fortunate. Parishioners are invited to donate and help to assemble the bags of love. Once completed, bags can be picked up in Carlos Hall. Keeping a bag of love in your car will allow you to immediately provide nourishment to a needy person that you encounter by simply giving them the bag.
