Important news:
It is time again to extend service to the homeless through
the Interfaith Hospitality Network from May 11th to 25th.
Volunteers from our parish community are needed to plan
and prepare meals, provide child supervision, and overnight
chaperones. Due to a non-negotiable decision by the city
fire marshall, families can no longer be hosted in our
neighborhood churches due to zoning regulations. We will
therefore host our families at the rectory of St. Bernard's
church at 236 Lincoln Street, Worcester for the duration of
their stay. If you are willing to help, please call one of our
chairmen.

INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY NETWORK
The Interfaith Hospitality Network is a program
which unites our parish community in its
efforts to assist homeless families. The goal of
the program is to provide homeless families
with the basic human needs: shelter, safety,
and sustenance, in a spirit of warmth and
hospitality. Christ the King, together with
twelve other congregations in the Worcester
community, has agreed to provide
nutritiously prepared meals for three to five
families (about fourteen people) in a safe
environment. We will host these families for
two weeks in the early spring or summer, and
will continue this commitment on a
yearly basis. Many volunteers are needed for
this important project, including preparing and
serving meals, spending time helping to
entertain the children, and ensuring all needs
of the families are met.
