Inter-Faith Council Shelter Volunteers Needed

Jeffrey Cline, Social Ministry Committee Member

St. Teresa's Prayer

Christ has no body now on earth but yours

No hands, no feet on earth but yours.

You are the eyes through which he looks

You are the feet with which he walks to do good.

You are the hands with which He blesses the world.

You are His eyes, His body.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

No hands, no feet on earth but yours.

You are the eyes through which he looks with
compassion on the world.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

Those of us at the Chapel of the Cross have a unique opportunity to be the hands, the feet, and the eyes of Christ. As you may know by now, the Inter-Faith Council (IFC) will be closed for renovations this summer. While they are closed, several area churches, including our own, will have the unique opportunity to assist up to 24 homeless men by providing meals and overnight accommodations. The Chapel of the Cross will be hosting during July 18-31, from 8:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m. Members of the parish are needed to serve as volunteers in a variety of areas. If you are at least 21 years of age, you have the option to volunteer in a variety of ways: 1) night volunteer (8:00-11:00 p.m.), 2) overnight volunteer (male only) to assist the IFC staff manager, 3) evening snack volunteer, or 4 ) breakfast volunteer.

If you are interested in being a volunteer, you must attend a training session on June 8 or July 10. For more information, please contact Sandra McClaskey, Social Ministry chair, at 919-967-3761.

Please consider helping this important ministry of the parish. Remember the prayer of Saint Teresa in which she says, "Christ has no body now on earth but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. You are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on the world."
