Crisis Assistance Ministry, the community's safety net for those in poverty, greatly appreciates the ongoing support and its long-standing partnership with St. Ann's Catholic Church. With your help, the staff and volunteers at Crisis Assistance Ministry provided 24,281 financial emergency payments to prevent eviction and utility loss last year, a 16% increase from the previous year. In addition, 608,085 clothing, furniture, appliance and household items were distributed to our neighbors in need. Park Road Baptist Church has become the first satellite faith location for Crisis Assistance Ministry. The churches along Park Road are helping by providing volunteers to assist in interviewing clients for emergency financial assistance at this location. If you are looking for a meaningful volunteer experience, then this is for you. If you would like to give back to your neighbors in need in a meaningful and fun environment, please contact Brenda Campbell at 704-371-3001, ext.114 or by email at bcampbell@crisisassistance.org.

Voting: A Moral Choice.  As Catholics, there are many moral issues we must consider in our choice.  Do you vote for the candidate that is pro-abortion but against the death penalty?  Do you vote for the candidate that supports gay marriage but doesn't support the war in Iraq?  These questions are answered in a "Voting Guide for Serious Catholics" that is available in the Narthex in the back of the church, provided by your Respect Life Committee.
