Dear Friends,
My heart always overflows with gratitude and joy for all the phenomenal stewardship our faith communities bring forth to so many of our sisters and brothers. Recently, the 55 plus Fellowship and Fun Ministry brought together after our daily Thursday morning Mass folks from our faith communities for a great gift! These individuals worked our Bright Red Bookshelf Ministry.
This ministry provides gently used children's books to Rochester city children. The volunteers you see in the accompanying photo clean, sort, label books, and restock shelves as needed.
Volunteers deliver these treasures around Rochester and beyond for our young people to enjoy, receive, and keep! This treasured ministry came to us from the inspiration of Diane Dailey. Her mission is carried on by Jody Beckett and Allison DiMarco.
These two women from our churches are a blessing for all who are receiving and reading these books!
Each week, even daily, you're welcome to donate books from your bookcases that may be enjoyed by others.
I've cleaned out my bookcases and now buy books to donate. There are great finds at TJMax, Marshall's, and wherever you may shop.
So, thank you my friends for preparing these books of great joy for the hands who will receive them!
You're the best!
Blessings,
Father Rob
