The St. Francis Center 4th Quarter report reflects the various ways your donations of cash, clothing, household items and food is being stewarded. Through your generosity and our dedicated hard working volunteers we are able to assist many people in their time of dire need. However, the number of requests we receive far exceeds our ability to respond and lighten their burden. In a recent homily Pope Francis said, "The Lord promises refreshment and freedom to all the oppressed of our world, but He needs US to fulfill His promise. He needs our hands to offer them help. He needs our voices to protest injustices. Above all He needs our hearts to show His merciful love towards the least, the outcast, the abandoned and the marginalized." Thank you for the many ways that you are using your heart, hands and voice to live the Gospel message more fully and deeply. Peace and blessings to you and your family! Sr. Nuala 6
