Catholic Urban Program
Volunteers Needed!
I want to introduce you to a new ministry opportunity in our diocese that I strongly encourage you to please consider!
Catholic Urban Programs “Hub Foods” is CUP’s all-new client choice food pantry program. Twenty-four volunteers are needed to staff the pantry on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Volunteers are asked to commit to one or more shifts a week.
A “more than food” approach to the issue of food insecurity, “Hub Foods” volunteers are a vital link between pantry members and our case management team. Volunteers should be comfortable interacting with people experiencing food insecurity and other concerns such as health issues, physical disabilities and other impacts of poverty.
f you would like to put your faith in action through direct service, this may be the role for you! Four volunteers are needed on each shift making the opportunity perfect for groups of retired friends, individuals or stay-at-home moms! Contact Jenn Lyke at jlyke@catholicurbanprograms.org or 618-398-5616 ext 203.

VBS Thank You!!! This past week, our parish hosted our annual Vacation Bible School for the children. I am inspired by how many of our youth helped in leadership roles for the younger children (K5th grade). Our Faith Formation Director, Jane Dotson, always does a great job keeping our youth involved and training them to be leaders in sharing their own faith. Two things come to mind for all of us to remember and practice: READ MORERead More -
