Outreach Ministries - Lenten Soup Suppers

Each Wednesday evening during Lent, a variety of soups are made by a parish organization and brought to the parish to be shared by other parishioners. The donations offered for the soup and bread supper are given to a variety of charities selected by the committee. Dates for Lent 2011 will be posted in the future.

The following organizations / ministries sponsored Lenter Soup Suppers during Lent 2010: Family Mass Community, Religious Education, ASP, Men's Society, CCW and Girl and Boy Scouts. Thank you for all your help!!!

In 2010, we supported EXODUS with items needed for the Welcome to America Pack and Oak Park Food Pantry with non-perishable food.

BRING YOUR OWN BOWL, SPOON & GLASS
We will provide delicious soups, bread and beverage.
We usually ask for a monetary donation which is donated to a charity.

WHY DO WE DO THIS?

We bring our own bowl, spoon and glass as an effort to be good stewards of our earth's resources by trying not to use too many comsumable / disposable products.

Our soup suppers are meant to be "meager meals" or "simple suppers" which give us an opportunity to eat less, do Lenten fasting and be in solidarity with those who have less.

PRAYER - FASTING - ALMSGIVING
