Thanks for the Shelter at Alpha House!

Thanks for the Shelter at Alpha House!We, at St. Francis Parish, are blessed to have many parishioners who give of their time and money to help the residents at Alpha House.  Thanks to your efforts, we had a very successful week Oct 15-21 at Alpha House.  During the week Alpha House was filled to capacity: 17 residents (6 adults & 11 children). Our 51 volunteers gave more than 170 hours to help the residents.  The meals were delicious; the kids had great fun; the nights were quiet - no emergencies.  The families and staff members repeatedly expressed their great appreciation and thanks for all that you have done for them.
