A simple Lenten meal consisting of soup, bread, andmwater has been planned for each of the six Fridays of Lent (excluding Good Friday). These meals begin on Friday March 7 and ending April 11. There is nomcharge for this meal which occurs prior to the Stations of the Cross. Soup will be served from 5:30 to 6:15pm in the Hospitality Room followed promptly by the Stations at 6:30pm. In the church. We are looking for volunteers to make soup. Each week we are asking for two people to bring a minimum of 5 quarts of soup in a crock pot or pan as well as someone to donate bread. Fridays during lent are days of abstinence, therefore, only meatless soups will be served. Please contact Cathy DeCataldo @ 401-309-9092 or Nancy Benoit @ 401-330-0741 if you are interested in making soup or donating bread for one or more of the meals. Thank for your generosity and/or help in any way.
