PARISH of the HOLY EUCHARIST

POTHE’s Commission on Social Justice and Peace attempts to meet this challenge with your help.  

 Social Justice and Peace at Parish of the Holy Eucharist:
 

• Manages the monetary donations for the Needy Fund
• Evaluates requests for assistance that come into the parish office, focusing on those with in the parish area
• Maintains contact with the Diocese and community groups that help/assist people in need
• Maintains contact with local food pantries, social service organizations and other churches to meet local needs
• Promotes service projects within the parish including the Giving Tree holiday gift-giving and food baskets at Thanksgiving and Easter
• Accepts donations for and is responsible for coordinating the parish's support for the Sister Parish Program for two churches and a community center, with a children's feeding program, in Haiti

 
The Needy Fund is administered by the Social Justice and Peace Commission. It responds to requests for emergency financial assistance for many areas of concern, (e.g. CMP shut offs, food, clothing, gasoline, etc.). Each request is carefully vetted by a member of the Commission, in accordance with Needy Fund Commission guidelines.

The Needy fund and the Haiti fund are maintained solely by voluntary free-will contributions from POTHE parishioners. Please note "Needy Fund" or “Haiti Fund” on the memo line of your check. Parishioner Elizabeth is the experienced chair of the Commission. 
 
We ask that you consider helping our efforts by becoming a member of the commission, volunteering for a commission-sponsored event, or by donating to the Needy Fund and/or the Haiti Fund. You may contact the parish office if you’d like to get involved. Simply call 207-847-6890 or email [email protected]. We value your ideas and support. 
 

 Thank you!
