St Paul the Apostle Catholic Church PWest

Today in religious education class we taught our youth that to love one another shows God to those around us. And that was put into action this afternoon. Today we partnered with One Way Street Ministry and served 115 meals, 160 PBJs, handed out 45lbs of dog food and cold lemonade and water. Our ministry team has grown! We had 24 people come out to do God's work to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ. 7 of them were our youth! Thank you to members of One Way-- Angela, Coco, Emily and Don. Thank you to Little Way of Pueblo Homeschoolers and St Paul the Apostle community service team-- thank you to the Peltiers, Owens, Ahlins, Massinnis, Girons, Hickmans, Daneluks, and Raphaels for helping to serve and organize our new outreach trailer. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everyone's help today!!

Thank you to the Coy family and Stalcar family for their generous donation that helped fund today's meal. Thank you to The Vrell family for cooking a wonderful meal-- we appreciate you working so hard as we know this is your busy season! Thank you to our Confirmation students for cutting up the green salad and fruit salad and for bagging up all the dog food. Thank you to the Owen family for making the PBJ sandwiches.

Today we told the outreach about our new outreach trailer. They are so grateful!! Now they know that if they need something we will be better equipped to help and serve them. It gives them peace of mind and they were all so thankful and just so grateful.

Today we learned that we lost a special person. Derek Lopez was an amazing person who always made you smile. He made a special impact on me and my family. I hope that he knew we were blessed by him and I hope he knew he was loved. Please join us in prayer. Eternal rest grant to Derek, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

So much to be thankful for today. We have been blessed many times over this week and I think it is a sign that God is pleased and wants us to continue to grow our mission. Today your SPA community service team partnered with One-Way Street Ministry and served about 120 plates of food, handed out about 75lbs of pet food and 50 pbj sandwich lunches.

There are a great many people to thank that came together to make this happen. Thank you to the Farmers Cut for donating the protein- we have been trying to stretch our funds and this gift was an amazing blessing. Thank you to Chef Tiffany and Andy Vrell for turning the donated pork into an amazing Asian-inspired dish- everyone raved about it. We tell everyone in the serve line a bonafide chef made the dinner and it makes them smile! Thank you to Ms Coco for baking the cakes and blessing everyone with a sweet treat. Thank you to Mr Don for bringing and serving the water, Peter for making the Gatorade, and Ms Carol for helping making the pbjs. Thanks also goes to Peter and Luke for bagging up and distributing the pet food. Thanks to our amazing serve line, Ms Coco, Jennie, Jane, Chuck, Carol, Mr Don, Peter, Luke, and Steve for helping to serve our Eastside neighbors.

Not pictured is the lovely Ms Coco who puts her generous heart into providing for her fellow man every week. She gives them her heart and often a listening ear in addition to helping fill their bellies.

In addition, there are two very big thank yous that must be said. I would like to thank the SPA Knights of Columbus for the donated trailer that will now be used to hold more hygiene and medical supplies, blankets, clothes, etc in addition to transporting food. It is an amazing blessing!

And last, but certainly not least, a huge thank you goes to the PW Eagles for their generous donation of $600! It is such a blessing!!

We are beyond thankful and grateful for the support given our ministry. And we are blessed by the growing number of amazing people that have donated their time and talents to help our ministry grow. We appreciate you!!
