Christos Anesti!
Wishing you a joyous resurrection!
April was busy delivering meats and eggs to our pantries. We made two trips to Seeds of Hope for shopper rotation. This Lenten season emphasized renewal, humility, and almsgiving. Matthew 25 followed Jesus's call and gave generously. Seeds of Hope thanked us for our Easter meat deliveries, which their shoppers appreciated. Somerton Interfaith also expressed gratitude for our donations. We thank everyone at Annunciation for your support; Matthew 25 is a ministry of Annunciation, serving our parish and God.
In May, we will return to our usual donations of eggs and other requested foods. We're open to providing different foods based on pantry needs. Our relationships with these pantries are seamless; their compassion and respect for their communities uplift us. We love serving them and anticipate a stable partnership. As inflation rises, be mindful of its effects on our communities. If we feel it, our food-insecure neighbors are affected, too, receiving less at markets and pantries. We'll communicate needs and changes as we learn about their challenges.
Enjoy this Bright Week and its glory. As the sun and warm weather return, our hearts are full. Focus on simple pleasures like a walk or the beauty of spring.

MISSION
Our mission is to share our love of Christ with our needy and poor neighbors. Our message doesn’t change from year to year, and our purpose is to continue to serve our neighbors and live our faith by bringing awareness to our parish of the food insecurities plaguing our local suburbs.
