All of us are rich in comparison to those
who are poorer than we are. But being rich
isn’t just about money or possessions, but
about also relationships. There are people
who are starved of love because they might
not have any friends, or maybe they have
family, but they are abusive. I know that I can be in a room
full of people and somehow feel all alone. The poor are not
just people who need things like food and clothing, a job,
money, but they are also the people who might be sitting
next to you in the pew at Mass who just need a welcoming
smile and a 'hello' because they are new. Maybe it’s a family
member who needs help around the house, a friend that
you've been meaning to call or maybe it’s you; there are
limitless possibilities because God doesn't have any limits.
Please contact Jennifer Clark at 562-296-9007 or

talent or to connect in the community.
