September Month of Charity:
The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we should treat all others, as if they were Christ in disguise. They “are charitable actions by which we help our neighbors in their bodily needs” (USCCA). They respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together through this life.
As Catholics we are called to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the prisoners, bury the dead and give alms to the poor. For the month of September, we at the Archdiocesan office of youth, young adult and campus ministry want to invite you; youth, youth ministers, young adults, young adult ministers and all of the parishioners at your parish to reach out to your local Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Brothers of the Good Shepperd in Albuquerque and other charities. We understand that we are in a pandemic and that danger is evident but as Catholics we are called to serve and that is what we must do. Whether it is by donating money, items or time does not matter. This is an excellent time to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy.
We encourage you to get in touch with your local St. Vincent de Paul. Look on the charities website to see how you can donate money.
Brothers of the Good Shepherd in Albuquerque need the following items:
- Men’s Undergarments (i.e. boxer’s or boxer briefs)
- Toothbrushes
- Toothpaste (NO mouth wash)
- Men’s clothing-gently used (i.e. shirts, pants, jacket’s) This is a great opportunity to clean out your closets!
- Men’s Shoes-gently used (i.e. sneakers of any size)
They are located on: 218 Iron Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Please call them at (505) 243-2527, in order to drop off items. They have asked us to tell you that it does not matter the time, they only ask to call ahead so they can have someone ready to receive the items.E
We thank you for coming together in doing this and helping those that are much in need.
Note: Items that are donated have to be clean.
For more information, please contact Della @ (505) 831-8142 or dmontano@archdiosf.org
