Brother Al Mascia
Community Service Award Recipient
at the
IFLC Annual Awards Dinner
October 14, 2015
|
This year's community service award will go to Brother Al Mascia for his tireless work feeding, ministering to, uplifting and healing the community. From his bicycle cart ministry to the Song and Spirit Care'avan, Brother Al finds a way to get what's needed to those who need it. And as he pursues this Franciscan mission, he brings together members of many faiths to do the work.
Brother Al's interfaith story is a wonderful and winding path that begins before he was born. His family history contains a kind Jewish family that helped his great-grandmother and her children when her husband abandoned her. He grew up in New York, with Catholics and Jews for neighbors. And he knows exactly how thin to slice lox for a Sunday morning bagel.
