A message from our Youth Coordinator...

Every year, I'm blown away by the generosity of the people of St. Joan of Arc.  Last week Life Teen had our annual clothing drive to support the ministries and missions of Harrisburg.  We collected over 140 bags of clothes and that was awesome.  
 
The weekend and the week that follows is always a rush, physically and emotionally.  Parishioners don't get to see the teens work really hard sorting the clothes and bagging them up to get them ready for delivery.  Teens don't get to see the fruit of that labor as I deliver the needed items to the Catholic Worker House, Silence of Mary, Downtown Daily Bread, Shalom House, and Shining Light.  
 
A couple of these places, it's a drop and go with little to no interaction with anyone.  With Downtown Daily Bread and Shining Light, I was able to sit and talk with 10 gentleman and 4 women who would be getting these much needed warm clothes and coats.  They were eternally grateful. Being able to sit and talk with these men put a face on why we have this clothing drive every year.  With that I thank you for your continued support of this yearly event.  Without you this wouldn't be possible. I pray for God's peace and grace to all.
 
Pax,
John
