Gathering in New Orleans

During the weekend of November 1-3, 2019, the Future of Charity met for a fun-filled, prayerful time together at the House of Charity in New Orleans, LA. Upon arrival, each person was welcomed with a hug. We began with a prayer service honoring the Saints who have gone before us with an ofrenda.  We placed pictures of the Saints of our communities as well as family and friends upon the altar. We shared how they had touched our lives. Remembering the example of those who have gone before us, those who had been faithful to the call of God in Religious Life and in serve to the poor inspired many.  

We did some planning of the FUTURE for the Future of Charity at our business meeting. We want to continue meeting and expand by inviting others to join in our group! The bonding and joyful times of laughter and conversations shared shows how loving one another is so life giving. We shared many delicious meals: a pizza made by Annie and Vicki, and on Sunday, PoBoy sandwiches at the PoBoy festival!
