Help Us With a Social Justice Project this New Year

A special request has been made by Catholic Charities for help in a January survey of the number of homeless in our communities. Counting homeless families, youth, veterans, seniors and others gives us a better idea of the factors contributing to the homelessness in our communities, and the information collected helps the work to end homelessness. Volunteers will be needed for the January 22 count and report. Parish of the Holy Eucharist would like to assist Catholic Charities and, at this early stage, parishioners may consider the following:

• Information can be obtained from our contact at Catholic Charities Maine, Janice Lara-Hewey, Behavior Health Network Supervisor, phone: 272.9210, email: jlarahewey@ccmaine.org.
• In our parish, the Commission of Social Justice and Peace will be a point of contact through Chris Lehay, St. Jude Social Justice Commission, (712.8127), email: mariechrislehay@yahoo.com
