Lunchless Luncheon 2009
The Antiochian Women of Holy Cross Sisterhood of St Nina
Cordially invite you to a
"Lunchless Luncheon" to support
Children with Special Needs
This special event will be held throughout Great Lent in an ordinary envelope. The appropriate attire will be a contrite and humble heart seeking an avenue for your Lenten Almsgiving.
All women of the Antiochian Archdiocese are collectively known as ‘The Antiochian Women’. Once a year we use our collective numbers to support a special project brought to our attention by Metropolitan PHILIP and others.
Women have a special ministry to those in need within our parishes, and so it is no surprise that this year our beloved Metropolitan Philip is calling the Antiochian Women to take up the cause of children with special needs. Yet, by taking up this act of mercy, you will not only help countless disabled and needy children, you will also heal yourselves by participating in God‘s mercy through your actions. You will alleviate some of your own suffering by bringing hope and joy. Yes, you will discover the healing and spiritual happiness in sharing your material blessings with those truly in need. In the end, you will discover that those children we call 'disabled‘ or 'needy‘ have the ability to bless us. After all, they provide us with the opportunity to do good works.
Help us reach our goal of $150,000
