Lord God, help us to be Your voice speaking out of love & acceptance. Help us to be Your feet walking beside those in need. Help us to be Your hands to clothe, feed & shelter them. Amen.

This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. John 15:12

March is #NationalSocialWorkMonth, & at @CCNEK, we celebrate our case managers/licensed social workers. Like St. Louise de Marillac, they bring compassion & care to individuals facing challenges. Learn more about the role of a case manager here: ow.ly/Q9aw50XkxS2.

Inspired by the compassion of Jesus, the Daughters of Charity seek to be compassionate, kind & deeply reverent to those they serve. With trust in God’s help, they see their work as a continuation of Christ’s own work. How do you connect with their mission?

St. Louise de Marillac dedicated her life to helping those in need. She is the patron saint of sick people, widows and orphans, and in 1960, Pope John XXIII proclaimed her the Patroness of Social Workers. Learn more about her here: ow.ly/c5aZ50XkxEy.

The WyCo Food Pantry hosted an Open House to celebrate it's renovated space! The food pantry, clothing closet and seating area continue to offer those in need a dignified shopping experience. Click the link to learn more about our Family Support Services! catholiccharitiesks.org/family-support…

Through the intercession of Your beloved servant, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, may we all look upon the face of the poor as if we were gazing on the face of Christ. Help us to champion the cause of the poor and to serve them with heartfelt charity. Amen.

Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8

Just like St. Elizabeth of Hungary aided those in need, you can help people who are hungry, experiencing homelessness and living in poverty by making a donation to @CCNEK. Learn more and donate here: catholiccharitiesks.org/donate/.

Rather than live a life of luxury, noblewoman St. Elizabeth of Hungary chose to serve Christ through her service to the poor. She sacrificed her luxurious life in order to help those most in need. What are you willing to sacrifice in order to serve the poor?

St. Elizabeth of Hungary was born in 1207. At an early age, she displayed a great love for the poor. Because of her great love and affection for the poor, St. Elizabeth is recognized as the patroness of Catholic charitable causes. ow.ly/wBS250Xkxpw

St. Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam, inspire us to be generous of hearts & a hand to the needy. May our generosity flow from gratitude for your gifts to us, rather than from false pride in our own abilities. We are all needy in our own ways, & dependent on generosity. Amen.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3

We enjoyed hosting the Dynasty Volleyball Club at Hope Distribution Center. The girls packed hygiene kits for our Resource Bus and sorted food to be distributed to our food pantries. Click the link for more info on how to serve as a part of our mission! catholiccharitiesks.org/volunteer/

Put #FaithIntoAction this week, by volunteering within a @CCNEK ministry. Like St. Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam, you can help serve those most in need and make an impact in our community.

St. Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam respected the poor while offering whatever service he could. Every person was precious in the eyes of God. He was a lay Catholic who was called to put his #FaithInAction in the same way many of us are called. How are you called to put #FaithInAction?

St. Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam lived an ordinary life but loved in extraordinary ways. Guided by the example of St. Vincent de Paul, he began his life in service providing for the poor in Paris. He lived his life devoted to those less fortunate. Learn more: ow.ly/k7z750Xkx9K.

Ever Loving God, enable us to work for justice among the poor and oppressed. Draw us all into the Eucharistic community of Your Church that we may be one in You. Grant this through our Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
