Lent 2022 – We Belong to One Another
The Family of Four Parishes is happy to announce that this year’s Lenten theme is “We Belong to One Another: Journeying Through Lent with the Riverwest Food Pantry.” During this season of Lent, we will invite parishioners to get involved with this key partner in our ministry through service and almsgiving. Below you will find more information on upcoming events such as Eat, Drink and Be Catholic on March 16 and 30, as well as parish service days at the Riverwest Food Pantry on March 25, 26, and 29. To learn more about our Lenten partner, visit www.riverwestfoodpantry.org or contact Pastoral Associate, Chad Griesel at cgriesel@ffpmke.org.
Lenten Almsgiving
“You have helped us feed the body, now help us feed the whole person!” Our support of the Riverwest Food Pantry has enabled them to encounter our neighbors nearly 15,000 times last year, sharing not only healthy food with them, but helping them learn how to cook with their fresh produce, navigate crises their families were facing, and to feel like a part of their Community of Generosity where everyone gives and everyone receives. Please join the parishioners from our family of parishes as we strive to make Lent a place where we all remember that we belong to one another.
At the Riverwest Food Pantry, greater giving leads to greater receiving. When you shop, donate food, share dollars or volunteer your time, we invite you on a journey to the wellspring of generosity, where the person with a lot sees their profound need and the person with little sees how much they have to give.
If you’d like to support this almsgiving campaign, please write a check to Riverwest Food Pantry and put “Lenten Almsgiving” in the memo line. Donation envelopes can be found in the pews. You can also give online at www.riverwestfoodpantry.org. Enter “Lenten Almsgiving” in the donation notes. Or you can text RWFP to 41444 to donate. Together, we can change the way hunger is addressed in Milwaukee.
