Neighbor2Neighbor

The newly revived Neighbor2Neighbor ministry continues to flourish throughout this Easter Season. Grateful recipients of assistance have expressed their appreciation for the work of the N2N volunteers. The daughter of a woman receiving Holy Communion at home wrote to thank the ministry: “It is wonderful to feel the care and love of our neighborly and spiritual community. It meant so much to my mother to meet your volunteer, pray with her, and receive the Sacrament. She felt touched and uplifted. The neighbor to neighbor ministry is a blessing for both of us!”

Similarly, the parents of newborn twins conveyed their gratitude for home-cooked meals: “Thanks so much for putting meals together for us. Not only were the meals great, but the N2N program set a great example of how we want to live our own lives.” They hope one day to assist others in the same way. A parishioner recently home from the hospital wrote to say, “Thanks for my receiving such wonderful meals last week! It really helped to restore my health.”

During the month of April, N2N provided 13 meals to people at home, and provided lunch and dinner to a dozen volunteer workers in the church on Holy Saturday. The ministry arranged for a wheelchair to be provided to a parishioner, and made numerous phone calls to the homebound. N2N volunteers continue to provide Holy Communion to parishioners unable to attend Mass in person.
