OUTREACH: GETTING HELP

Kathryn Raniere, Director (631) 669-0068 Ext. 128

“Wherever there are people in need of food and drink, clothing, housing, medicine, employment, education; wherever people lack the facilities necessary for living a truly human life or are tormented by hardship or poor health, or suffer exile or imprisonment, there Christian charity should seek them out and find them, console them with eager care and relieve them with the gift of help”
