We need your help
We need your help.
We do things like give out diapers. Did you know that some mothers must pick between diapers for their child and food for their family? Sound unfair to me. And it is. We also help with things like laundry soap, toilet tissue, and personal care products. Lots of folks drop things off at our community that we can share, but many of the things we help with, we have to purchase. That is where you come in. We need your donations ad have a PayPal account you can use, or you can mail the community a check. Please help us help others. Some are homeless and others are near homeless.
What do you need to make your day a little brighter?
What
do you need to make your day a little brighter? We have diapers size 1
to pull ups. There is also toilet paper, and laundry sap. Baby wipes,
and more. There is also a few loaves of bread also. Message us with
what you need, or just stop by the community. We are the white A frame
on the corner across from Webster Element School, on South Michigan in
Plymouth.
Folks keep giving us stuff and we love to share it with you. That is what my mother told me we were suppose to do. And she and my father were far better teachers then any in seminary.
And if you just want and need some prayers, we do that great. We are monastics and that is the first ting in our job description. . We are also pretty good listeners too.

We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences

We are our brothers and sisters keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. At the core of the virtue of solidarity is the pursuit of justice and peace. t if you want peace, work for justice. The Gospel calls us to be peacemakers. Our love for all our sisters and brothers demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and conflict.
A basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. In a
society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, our
tradition recalls the story of the Last Judgment (Mt 25:31-46) and
instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first.
Human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met. Therefore, every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities–to one another, to our families, and to the larger society. Too often we talk much about these rights but little or nothing about our duties to our brothers and sisters.
The person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society — in economics and politics, in law and policy — directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. Marriage and the family are the central social institutions that must be supported and strengthened, not undermined. We believe people have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking together the common good and well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable.
Human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. In our society, human life is under direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death penalty. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. We are called to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.
The Fathers and Mothers of the Church have taught this and handed it down ti us today, unchanged. We need to listen to their words. We also need to listen to the cries of our brothers and sisters who are in pain and never listened to.
