GO Cincinnati: Building Up Our Community by April Hoak

“May the challenges in the ecumenical journey encourage us to know each other better, pray together and unite in works of charity.” ~Pope Francis

Dear Family, Friends, and Neighbors,

This past Saturday was an invaluable opportunity to come together with Crossroads Church to make the community of Cincinnati a little bit better. We, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati partnered with other christian organizations in serving agencies all over Cincinnati that live out the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Thank you to all my family, friends, and neighbors who joined us in volunteering to be God’s love to our community.

St Susanna’s Parish project was at St Joseph School and Parish on Ezzard Charles. We spruced up the landscaping, spread mulch, planted flowers, and made new friends! And of course God is good! The early morning rain softened the soil making weed pulling and planting of flowers easier, then just as we arrived the clouds parted. We stayed dry and were able to complete our project.

Peace & Gratitude,
April Hoak
