A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD
GOD said trials are not the reason to give up; but a challenge to improve ourselves;
Pain is not an excuse to back out but an inspiration to move on;
Little keys can open big locks; simple words can express great thoughts; and
a sincere prayer everyday brings you G0D'S immeasurable blessings and grace.
Blessed day with the Lord and your families.
-Fr. Arnold

SCHOOL COLLECTION
November 8, 2018
People are hungry in our community. Even if employed, people earning minimum wage cannot afford both rent and food. People who are unhoused need not only a meal, but a place to feel welcomed. Hope's Corner is addressing these needs every Saturday between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. by providing a nutritious breakfast and providing a bag lunch for each person to take. In addition, we began offering free showers on Saturday mornings in August 2015. Our numbers have grown from a few dozen in our beginning in 2011 to now serving over 200 people every Saturday. Besides food, we provide a place for people to feel welcomed and build community. We collaborate with Second Harvest Food Bank, Community Services Agency, Peninsula Food Runners, Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange and others to help the people we serve connect with other available services.
