Serving Jesus by Serving the Least of These


Through the CARITAS organization, we open our doors and hearts to provide shelter, food, and necessities to individuals and families in need of immediate assistance. 

CARITAS enables all ages to serve!
It was a blessing to see children, youth, adults -- and even our neighbors from West End Islamic Center -- serve together as Christ's hands and feet by...

preparing and serving meals • washing dishes and cleaning up after meals • keeping company, praying with and for and listening to guests • washing and folding laundry • spending the night to ensure guests were safe • providing breakfast, lunch and dinner items • helping with set up and clean up • serving as on-call shoppers • bringing leftover food to the Little Sisters of the Poor • serving as volunteer coordinators • encouraging your children to volunteer at CARITAS •  keeping guests and volunteers in your thoughts and prayers • supporting CCE financially or otherwise so that CARITAS ministry is possible.

Together and with the Grace of God, we are living out: "And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’"(Matthew 25:40)

Our friends from the West End Islamic Center helped prepare and serve dinner one night.
