Students Reflect on Poverty & Hunger

Students from Mount Carmel High School visited Canterbury House on Friday, March 22 to reflect on the theme of “Poverty and Hunger.” They spoke with Br. Ayub about the guests who visit our parish Food Pantry and then helped stock shelves and clean.
 
After lunch at Canterbury House, two mothers who recently arrived from South America spoke to the students. They explained how poverty and hunger in their home countries led them to the United States, and eventually Chicago. The mothers also spoke of their long journey through jungles and dangerous river crossings with their children. They shared their hopes and dreams for their families and their futures. It was a beautiful, powerful way to end our morning together.
 
Thank you to the students and staff of Mt. Carmel for your help and fellowship!
