- Faithful Citizenship
  
  Pope Francis urges, "We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern."

  On October 21, Ray Flowers and Tom Victorine presented a check from St. Anthony Seniors (S.A.S.) in the amount of $2,100 to Bill Lee, Executive Director of Martha’s Kitchen. S.A.S. members voted to use some of their funds to help Martha’s Kitchen in this time of great need. Martha's Kitchen is currently serving twice the number of meals every week as they did last year due to hardship caused by the pandemic. This gift will provide meals to serve 200 people each day, for three consecutive days.
