Day 66: Food Drive and Bake Sale at St Theresa's Church

Becoming DominicanHello, it is Sophia! Today we went to church at St. Theresa Parish which does a lot with helping the poor and needy. One of the charities they support is the St. Bridget Food Pantry in near-by Framingham. The church has a collection basket where today I put in a few items. Some foods that I already saw in the basket were Cherrios, flour, and containors of almonds and cashews. I added chicken noodle soup, cream of chicken soup, and hot chocolate mix. The gifts were brought up shortly to the alter during the mass. 
            As we were walking out, a special treat was that we saw the Dominican Sisters' bake sale with bread, different kinds of pie, and brownies. I learned on the The Dominican Sisters' website that their goal is "to bring the Gospel to life through their teaching, care for the poor, advocacy for justice, their art, music, care of creation, spiritual enrichment ministries, housing advocacy, and much more." I was very happy to support them by buying a brownie!! (It was delicious!!)
