St. Paul the Apostle holds day of service in honor of 50th anniversary
GREENSBORO — Volunteers packed 25,000 meals for the hungry at St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Greensboro Feb. 17. More than 100 parishioners of all ages showed up for the day of service – part of the parish’s ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations and outreach efforts.
Known in the community for serving those in need, the parish partnered with Rise Against Hunger, an international hunger relief organization working to bring food to the hungry in the furthest reaches of the 37 countries it serves.
Because of the event’s success, the parish plans to repeat the effort.
“It was amazing to see our parishioners aged 1 to 92 come out on the first Saturday of Lent for a day of service to celebrate this milestone anniversary of our parish,” said Amy Marmion, outreach coordinator at St. Paul the Apostle Parish. “It brought awareness to our parishioners of the food insecurities that exist around the world and was a wonderful community-building event for our parish.”
Upcoming 50th anniversary events include a parish picnic June 2, a special anniversary Mass and luncheon July 14, and a memorial Mass for deceased members of the parish Nov. 2. For more information, visit www.stpaulcc.org.
