Distributing Food to the Homeless on the Feast of San Lorenzo Maiorano

Thank you to this month's volunteers: Bobby,
James, Tony, Ray and Anna (our photographer)
Thursday, February 7th, members of the Constantinian Auxiliary prepared and distributed food to the homeless in Chinatown and Two Bridges, New York on the Feast of San Lorenzo Maiorano. Meeting at the Church of the Transfiguration (29 Mott St.), volunteers prepared 20 care packages replete with winter accessories, toiletries and ready to eat food, including containers of freshly cooked Chicken Marsala generously donated by our dear friends at Caffé Napoli (191 Hestor Street) in Little Italy.

Once again, our friends at Caffé Napoli donated a delicious tray of food
Once again, we want to thank Antonio, Anna and Konstantinos Mavrianos-Cesare for their hard work and dedication. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you Louis Fontana of Caffé Napoli; Raymond Guarini of Italian Enclaves; James De Silva; and Robert Michael Surella for your continued assistance. Your heartfelt generosity and selflessness is greatly appreciated. And as always, special thanks to Pastor Lo for your support and blessings. It is an honor to serve with such an outstanding group of people. God Bless you all. IHSV
Care packages were stuffed with ready to eat food,
toiletries and winter hats and gloves
The next walk will be on Thursday, March 7th—the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas—at 7:00 PM. In addition to ready to eat foodstuff and daily necessities, we’re are asking volunteers to donate hats and scarves for the cold weather. Anyone interested in supporting this charitable endeavor can contact Cav. John Napoli at jnapoli@smocsg.org or Anna Mavrianos-Cesare at MsAnnaNY@aol.com.
