Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“And who is my neighbor?”—Luke10:29
Just in case you need to know, your neighbor is:
• The family that does not have enough food to make it to the end of the month and finds our neighborly help
at Catholic Parish Outreach
• The people that come to the Door Fund/Ministry desperately trying to keep a roof over their head and avoid eviction and are helped by our financial donations
• he farmers and their families of the Third World who are helped by our participation in CRS Rice Bowl at Lent
• The young expectant mothers who come to us through Walking with Moms in Need
• Those who receive scarves, hats, booties, and other handmade items by our Crafters for Christ Ministry
• The homeless women who get fed nourishing lunches at the Women’s Center
• Sixteen families of neighbors now have simple, decent homes thanks to our labors through Habitat for Humanity Catholic Coalition
•Through Share the Blessings, we help those who live in Uganda with wells and children’s education
• In the Helen Wright Shelter Ministry, we help our homeless women neighbors with delicious dinners
• Our immigrant neighbors for whom we advocate for and assist through the Justice for Immigrants Program
The homeless and the underfed neighbors who, without the Oak City Cares Meals Ministry, would not have meals on the weekends
• Our incarcerated neighbors who see a light at the end of the tunnel because of our Prison Ministry
• Our care for our natural world neighbors through the Laudato Si Circle and NC Catholics Caring for Our Common Home
• We make Christmas so much brighter for neighbors who lack financial resources by providing gifts though our Angel Share Tree Ministry
• Approved refugee families that we accompany through our Refugee Resettlement Ministry
To find the face of God, you have only to reach out and touch one of these neighbors.
