People often ask us, what is your most basic need? What do your children always need? What do your poorest neighbors need?
We can answer these questions with one word: nourishment. To give you an idea what it’s like to go grocery shopping for Mercy Centre… We serve around one million meals a year.

Dear Everyone –
I write to you this Monday morning to thank you all for so many kind wishes on my 73rd birthday this past week on the Eve of All Saints (Halloween.) May we all be Blessed by the ever present silent Protection of all our Saints and Ancestors as we celebrate the Feasts of All Saints and All Souls.
