During this COVID crisis, we have witnessed so many acts of kindness. We have seen countless people stepping up, without being asked, to offer support during this time of need. I am reminded now how much easier it is to give support than to have to ask for it. When a person requests assistance from our Helping Hands Ministry, they are usually in real need of help. This was evident when a fellow parishioner asked us for help with yard work. Due to a work-related accident which required months of hospitalization and rehab, the gentleman was unable to weed, trim bushes, or lay mulch. Several members from Helping Hands spent many hours making sure his yard was manicured and ready for the summer months ahead. The look on his face when he viewed his yard filled all with joy.
