“Make us worthy Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them, through our hands this day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace and joy. Amen.” Saint Teresa of Calcutta
It has been more than a month since Luzon was placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine, and some barangays in the parish have been put under Extreme Enhanced Community Quarantine. The Capuchin Brothers remain relentless in the pursuit to feed the hungry and the forgotten street dwellers in the midst of the harsh environment brought about by the deadly COVID19 virus. Every day last week, with the support of lay volunteers, they personally prepared and delivered at least 150 home-style meals starting with a special Easter Sunday lunch!
