And that's just the hot lunch program. We also all take turns making hundreds of baloney sandwiches that the staff at St. Patrick takes to the streets after dark. It's usually a couple hours after Mass once a year.

They also have a very successful reintroduction program for recently released parolees and those recovering from drug addiction. THere's a grill/restaurant and now a small business incubator that's almost full and was just funded with a $250,000 grant.

It's really a cool place.

OK, Catholic posters here — where are the Protestants? Where are their examples of serving out of their poverty?

Or am I being too cynical?
