Feeding the Hungry in Baton Rouge
-
October 10, 2021Tuesday and Thursday are the busiest days of the week at St. Gerard Majella Church in Baton Rouge. The St. Vincent de Paul Society provides food for the hungry.
Mama Seabell, Kenny Paola, Peter Ketchens, David Richard, Enola Miller, Fr. Don MacKinnon and many more lay missionaries from our parish and other churches come together to pack boxes of food and distribute them to the hungry in the city.
Some people come to Seelos Hall to eat their hot meal of the day.The majority of the food is personally delivered to people on the streets and in areas where the poor, the hungry and the addicted congregate.
St. Gerard Majella Church is very grateful to all of our volunteers and lay missionaries who dedicate their time, talent and treasure to this ministry. Your rewards are reserved for you in heaven because “when I was hungry, you gave me food.” May God be praised and blessed!
