The Food Drive at All Souls' Food Pantry
The Lower School of St. Martin's Episcopal School In Metairie recently conducted a food drive that netted several hundred pounds of food for the newly renovated food pantry at All Souls Church and Community Center in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward.
Other Episcopal schools and churches are expected to do similar drives of food and toiletries in time for Thanksgiving this year to benefit families and homeless people in the community. www.allsoulsnola.org |
The harvest celebration is aimed at teaching healthy eating habits in a fun, demonstrable way. Interested in volunteering at this event? Email Sydney Hubbard or phone 504.895.2883 for more information. |

Upcoming Reconciliation Events in Our Diocese, Nov 2 & Jan 18th
 2013 is the Year of Reconciliation in the Diocese of Louisiana, a year in which we have undertaken a great deal of planning in response to Resolution 17 of the 168th Convention of the Diocese in which we pledged ourselves to work to become a Diocese committed to ending institutional and other forms of racism through dialogue and training.
In preparation for the main event in 2014, and for our efforts in years to come, we will have a meeting of all the clergy, of Senior and Junior Wardens, and of other dedicated laypersons from each congregation on November 2, 2013 at St. James Church in Baton Rouge.
The main event will be at Christ Church Cathedral on January 18, 2014, at which time we will participate in a service that we are calling "Seeking Christ in all People: a Service of Commitment to Racial Healing, Justice and Reconciliation."So that we can better plan for the November event, please complete the enclosed information form and return it to Agatha Townsend in the Bishop's office.
