Our Daily Bread

Looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of poor people? Among the many ministries here at Saint Louis there is one that is looking for additional helpers. Once a month Saint Louis parishioners feed 700 people at Our Daily Bread –a wonderful place in Baltimore city where poor and homeless people literally sit down for a served meal. No questions are asked about their status. They are simply treated with dignity and respect in an environment of Christian love and compassion. You can help by preparing chicken pieces according to a simple recipe. Members of our parish prepare the meal in their homes as they would prepare chicken for their family and then drop them off at the home of Mary Agnes Lewis ( 6005 Ten Oaks Road—across from our parish cemetery) on the 2nd Monday of each month. Available volunteers then take the food to the facility located next to the Basilica in Baltimore and serve the meal on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. For additional information about how you can help, call Mary Agnes Lewis at 410-531-3813. This is a wonderful way in which a family can work together in preparing a wholesome meal for some of God’s special people.
