Parishioners are invited to help prepare and serve meals to the homeless and the needy every Thursday at Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen.
This is Houston’s largest soup kitchen, serving 300-350 hungry individuals downtown with a free hot lunch daily.
This is an amazing opportunity for those with free time during the week to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
