Good works. Countless good works took place, both
seen and unseen, in our Catholic community during
2020. These ranged from providing sustenance to the
homeless and refugees, to supporting the young with
mental health issues and delivering prescriptions
and supplies to those shielding or isolating. This,
in addition to thousands of telephone calls made to
parishioners, especially the vulnerable and elderly.
