Please join us in congratulating Deacon Walter Doyle for an outstanding 45 years of ministry as a Deacon! He and his wife Kathy have shown an unwavering dedication to supporting those in need, and for 47 years the pair have built Urban Missionaries from the ground up, offering services and support for the community. Walter and Kathy have quietly built a profound legacy of compassion, service, and generosity all without asking for any praise or recognition. Their mission has always been about those in need, not awards or accolades. We would like to take the time on this special anniversary to recognize Walter and Kathy’s abiding commitment to helping their community, and we thank them for all that they have done these past 45 years. Congratulations!

What an incredible day!
A huge thank‑you to all the amazing volunteers who joined us for the Walk for Hunger this Sunday, 5/3. Your energy, kindness, and commitment carried us through more than 3 miles of walking and community spirit. We’re currently tallying the funds raised, and the impact is already inspiring. If you’d still like to support our drive to end food insecurity, donations will remain open for the next couple of weeks. Grateful for every single one of you! Barry, Tricia, Pat, Maureen, Paul, Michele, Jim, Peter, Beth, Laure Walter and Kathy
