Care & Serve

We are low on Caring Casseroles.

Caring Casseroles don't have to be casseroles. They can also be side dishes, soup, stew, chili, grilled chicken, or cooked burgers or pizza slices. Labels should include all ingredients or better yet, include the recipe.

If you make a meal that meets specific dietary restrictions (low sodium, gluten free, etc.) please mark it that way--it helps the volunteers distribute meals appropriately.

Drop off days at Clare Hall are by last name:

Monday--A-F

Tuesday--G-K

Wednesday--L-P

Thursday--Q-U

Friday--V-Z

Awakening to Racism and Racial Justice

With our current moment of social and racial unrest in our land, we are all trying to better understand what is going on and in what ways we should be involved. Bring your questions, concerns, experiences, and emotions to this program hosted by the Office of Justice and Peace.

We will provide a short presentation about the nature of racism in its individual and systemic forms in light of Catholic Social Teaching and explore what our call is as Catholic Christians in this work of peace and justice.
