Congratulations to the eighteen Our Lady of the Desert Redemptorist associates and friends who assembled for our second Sandwich-Making session July 19th. More than 400 sandwiches went out in bag lunches given out at the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen Friday Morning, July 20th. The next scheduled Sandwich-Making session is Thursday, August 30th at 5:00 PM.
Casa Maria, the Catholic Worker Community in Tucson whose goal is to practice daily the Works of Mercy and Works of Justice, is very grateful for your efforts. The Casa Maria Soup Kitchen is open every day of the year from 8:30am-11:30am, except Thanksgiving and Christmas, typically feeding 500-600 people per day. Thursday’s efforts made a real difference for them.
