Boston Sock Exchange
This Saturday, February 14th is the Boston Sock Exchange at 11:00 am at the Park Street T-Stop. This ministry helps the homeless men and women of Boston, by distributing gifts of sandwiches and clothes near the Park Street T-Stop on the second Saturday of the month. Prep and packaging for the day is held in the parish center on Friday night, February 13th at 7:00 pm. Help and/or donations is a wonderful way to put your faith in action! For more information, see the calendar to the right, or email Natasha Buckley (NQBuck [at] aol.com).
The Boston Sock Exchange is currently in need of small 8 oz. bottled water, SOCKS, sweatshirts, long sleeved-shirts, fleece jackets, coats, winter hats, scarves and gloves. We also need rain gear: ponchos and umbrellas. Thank you!
"Here is what we seek: a compassion that can stand in awe of what the poor have
to carry, rather than stand in judgement of how they carry it." Fr. Gregory Boyle, SJ
