Cooking for Domestic Violence Survivors
The Latina Project, an outreach by the women of
Holy Martyrs and our sister parish, La Sagrada
Familia, provides a meal once a month during a
support meeting for women who are survivors of
domestic violence.
You can help by providing part of a light meal,
spending time with the women or babysitting
during their meeting. The next meeting is June
18. An invitation to help is emailed to
parishioners each month.
Food needs to be dropped off at Holy Martyrs
until 1 p.m. Sunday and until 3 p.m. Monday
before each meeting. Please contact Diane Bruce
at [email protected] if you would
like to help.
