St. John's Homeless Shelter Meal

Last weekend, our group, along with parent volunteers, prepared a meal for about 40 guests at St. John's homeless shelter in Green Bay. It was definitely a successful event! The 14 children who prepared the meal were truly acting out Jesus' message in the gospel this weekend (see below).

We were also blessed with parents who donated drinks, desserts, and time to help out in the kitchen at school and serve the meal. Their example of generosity really does extend to each child!!!

We served just under 40 people at the shelter. They were very grateful for a delicious meal...but we'll need to make more meatloaf next time (not everyone got seconds).

We will plan another meal for sometime in February or March that we'll make on a Wednesday.


Mt 25:31-46Jesus said to his disciples:"When the Son of Man comes in his glory,and all the angels with him,he will sit upon his glorious throne,and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another,as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right,'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food,I was thirsty and you gave me drink,a stranger and you welcomed me,naked and you clothed me,ill and you cared for me,in prison and you visited me.’Then the righteous will answer him and say,'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you,or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’And the king will say to them in reply,'Amen, I say to you, whatever you didfor one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.’Then he will say to those on his left,'Depart from me, you accursed,into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.For I was hungry and you gave me no food,I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,a stranger and you gave me no welcome,naked and you gave me no clothing,ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’Then they will answer and say,'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirstyor a stranger or naked or ill or in prison,and not minister to your needs?’He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you,what you did not do for one of these least ones,you did not do for me.’And these will go off to eternal punishment,but the righteous to eternal life."
