OMPH Church Celebrated 1st World Day of The Poor

PHDC members on the 1st World Day of the Poor

On the 1^st World Day of The Poor Fr. Joseph Stephen together with members from the OMPH Parish Office of Human Development catered food for two hundred of their Parishioners.

Just as Pope Francis had provided lunch to the poor at the Vatican audience hall so too did OMPH PHDC provide food for the poor in the church hall.

Lunch was served as soon after Fr Joseph had blessed the food. Members dished out the food and began to serve those that came. Many showed up together with their family members.

There was no shortage of volunteers as they served the poor who readily enjoyed the meal.

A volunteer had baked a tray of cupcakes which was offered for their desert.

But it dawned on the organizers that many were unable to attend as they didn’t have transport.

Realizing the situation members packed the food and made deliveries to their homes a gesture that was welcomed by the recipients with open arms.
