“A dozen years ago, Archpriest John Shimchick and eight Holy Cross parishioners developed an impressive annual cycle of programs that provide meaningful outreach to troubled youth and to the hungry and homeless in their neighboring community,” said Donna Karabin, CSHA chair. “At the same time, they organize fellowship events within their parish and sustain caring programs for the sick, the elderly, and other parishioners in times of special need.”

The article, written by Diana Pasca, Ministry Representative from the Diocese of New York and New Jersey, offers a wealth of ideas for Lenten ministries and other long-term parish programs. The article may be accessed here.
