As a Lenten service project, the faith formation community at Christ the King Church in Trumbull collected snacks from families and parishioners. The generosity of the parish was overwhelming. Last week, the parish gathered in the church hall where children and adults stuffed over 200 bags with water, fruit cups and snacks! The parish was particularly moved to learn the bags will be distributed to people on the streets by our Homeless Outreach Team and distributed in our Community Kitchen. This was explained to the students, the parish prayed for those in need and the pastor blessed the food. Snack bags were also made for Merton House in Bridgeport. This was an engaging service project for the children and a great lesson about caring for others. The parish hopes to make this an annual event! Thank you to the parish for its generosity, kindness and helping hands to care for our neighbors in need.
