CLOTHING DRIVE The Social Justice Awareness Week Clothing Drive continues. Bring in clothing you no longer wear for donation to very worthy causes such as the Salvation Army Thrift Stores who uses proceeds from clothing sales to support the rehabilitation center. Cloth from unusable clothing is donated to organizations for bandages and training purposes. Clothing is sent to victims of worldwide catastrophes like the earthquake in Haiti. A receipt for your tax-deductible donation is available. THE COST OF HOMELESSNESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS Today the entire DeLaSalle Community will be participating in a day-long service learning project to package meals to send to Haiti through an organization called ImpactLives, Inc. The Catholic Church is playing a key role in helping trafficking victims in the U.S. For example, local religious orders such as the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and the School Sisters of Notre Dame are assisting trafficking victims by teaching them English; providing housing, transportation and other services; helping victims find jobs; and educating the general public. PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE HOMELESS It is possible to live in a house with someone and be homeless at the same time. As the Irish blessing puts it: “May the roof above us never fall in, and may we good companions beneath it never fall out.” Let us pray this month for those who are homeless and let us recognize and appreciate what each of us calls home.
