The Shelter Meal Ministry is affiliated with Holy Family Parish. This parish organization serves the surrounding community with monthly visits to the SHARE pantry and S.O.M.E. (So Others Might Eat). Services days are the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month. They also participate in Warm Nights and other community service related activities.
The Father Michael C. Kidd K of C Council Community Activities Program has joined hands with the Holy Family Shelter Meal group in a common mission: to alleviate the human suffering of poor and disadvantaged people in our surrounding communities. The Shelter Meal Program was formed in March 2003 in response to the Archdiocese of Washington Stewardship Campaign, which sought to increase the awareness and involvement of parishioners across the archdiocese by sharing their time, talents, and treasure with the Church and the community at large. Today, the Shelter Meal group serves primarily at three locations: Capital Area Food Bank in Washington DC, SHARE Food Network in Hyattsville MD and So Others Might Eat (SOME) in Washington, DC. SOME is an interfaith, community-based organization that exists to help the poor and homeless of our nation’s capital. The Shelter Meal group collects and delivers food and serves breakfast to approximately 400 people at SOME four times a year.
All are welcome to join but must be at least 12 years of age. For more information please contact Andres (padilla.a@verizon.net) or Terry (trich46@yahoo.com).
O great and glorious God, You imbued Your holy priest. Father Michael J. McGivney, with deep priestly virtue and especially with pastoral concern for the poor, the orphan, the widow, for the Christian education of youth, for the protection of the faith of the working man of his day.
Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions throughout the world, through the efforts and influence of the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded, we beseech Your, Heavenly Father, to raise Your faithful servant, Michael, to the honors of the altar. We ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, Mary and our Mother, Amen.
