What could be a more welcome addition to a meal than a cookie, cupcake, or brownie? The Social Justice Committee has coordinated an opportunity for you to serve the hungry women, children, men, and seniors who eat at St. Christine Christian Services’ Soup Kitchen. Approximately 300 people are served on Tuesdays, and Corpus Christi has been asked to provide something sweet for the meal on Tuesday, October 25. Dessert for 300 should be easy, right? Just bring cookies, brownies, or cupcakes to Mass on the weekend of October 22/23 — there will be a cart at the back of church for your donation — or you may drop it off at the parish office on Monday, October 24. Not a baker, or can’t make it to the store? Cash donations are always welcome! We have also been asked to provide 4 volunteers to help serve the meal on October 25th. Volunteers need to be at the soup kitchen (located at 22261 Fenkell Ave in Detroit). If you have questions or want to volunteer, please call Mary Davis at 313-506-7049.
