Crispin's Kitchen Update
We Need Just a Little More for Egan Kitchen
Thank you to all who donated to the 2016 Fund-A-Need campaign--Crispin's Kitchen! The much needed enhancements to the kitchen will enable us to provide nutritious, hot lunches for students. It will also better allow us to hold fundraising events while providing a place for the parish and school community to gather and share meals together.
To date, St. John Parish and School have collected more than $145,000 toward the "Crispin's Kitchen" project.
However, intense competition for contractors and tradespeople is impacting the cost of our project.
If you have not given, or would like to add your gift,
click here
.
We need an additional $37,000. Donations of $5,000 or more will get a home cooked meal from Fr. Crispin! (We will honor anyone who has already given this amount too.)
Corporate matching gifts make an important difference. Be sure take advantage of the generosity of your employer.
We are truly grateful for your support and appreciate every gift.

Prayer for the Next Time I Meet Christ
I see them, Lord, every morning,
standing on the same street corner.
They hold their tattered signs -
"will work for food" -
with every bit of dignity they have.
As I drive by, they raise their hand
in blessing.
I walk by them on my lunch break,
leaning up against a wall,
their few possessions tucked close by.
A dirty hand reaches out
in a sign of peace.
"Spare some change?" they ask,
as I avoid eye contact.
"God bless you" is their answer
to my silence.
Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty,
a stranger and alone?
When did we see you at all?
Forgive me, God, for what I have done
and for what I have failed to do.
And I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters
whom I have passed by,
to pray for me,
that next time,
I will stop to meet Christ.
by Diana Macalintal, from her book The Work of Your Hands, © 2014, Liturgical Press, used with permission.
