The friars will fast on that day and participate in the prayer services at these churches: St. Joseph in Cabot (Butler County), where a Mass will be offered at 8 a m ; Our Lady of Peace In Conway (BeaverCounty). where a meager meal and prayer service are set for 5:30 p.m. and St. Augustine in Lawrencevllle. where prayers will be offered at 7 30 p.m. and Madonna del Castdlo in Swissvale. where prayers will be offered at 7:30 p.m. The services are open to all who wish to participate. According to Fr. Richard Zellk. social action minister for the 1 Capuchins. 'We hope that such a day might serve as an alternative gift- giving event for Christians as they begin to make preparations for Christmas." The friars see this as the beginning o f efforts to keep the starving African people before the eye of the public, Fr. Richard explained. The idea for a day of solidarity with the hungry began with the North American Capuchin Justice and Peace Committee.
