Food/Hunger Efforts
In the ancient Franciscan story "The Hungry Brother and the River Torto," one of Francis' brothers confessed that he was dying of hunger. Francis immediately ordered the others to "gather some herbs and vegetables and whatever else they could find for all to have a good nourishing meal. He said this so that [the hungry brother] would not have to be humiliated by eating alone." We too are called to help those who are hungry, sharing what we have and doing so in a way that preserves the dignity of our brothers and sisters in need.
Peruse some of the educational and formative programs, advocacy efforts and direct service work taken on by Holy Name Province ministries to provide this kind of help.
To add to the list, contact Fran Eskin-Royer in Holy Name Province's Office for Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation.
