As our monthly charity event, this Monday, April 13th, at approximately 8:00pm, the Saint Katherine YAL will be hosting Deuteri Deutera, in the kitchen of the Meletis-Charuhas Center. This sandwich-making for the homeless will take place immediately following the completion of the 7:00pm Bridegroom service in the church, which we encourage all to attend.
 
After a record breaking year of sandwich-making, St. Katherine’s YAL is poised for another year of helping the homeless while having a good time.  Our goal for this year is not simply to make more sandwiches, but to get more people involved in this truly worthwhile experience.  Please make an effort to bring a new person to sandwich-making this Monday (or someone who hasn’t been to sandwich-making in a while). 
 
Please bring loaves of sandwich bread and packages of deli meats and cheeses in the right amounts to ensure that we do not have any leftovers of bread and meat. The ratio is 2 slices of meat per sandwich, or one slice of meat and one slice of cheese per sandwich. (A typical loaf has 22 slices, or 11 sandwiches, and a typical one pound package of bologna features 14 or 16 slices, but please consult your packaging for exact amounts.) Ideally, each participant should bring seven loaves of bread and eleven packages of meat or a combination of six packages of meat and five packages of cheese; just remember the ratio of 7:11. The combined cost of the bread and meat/cheese should be about $20.00.
 
If you don't have time to go to the grocery store beforehand, or cannot attend this event but would like to make a cash contribution to this worthy cause, please contact Helen Spanos at [email protected] by 5:00pm that Monday night, and Helen will purchase the meat and bread on your behalf.

As always, after sandwich-making, we will go to a local restaurant for dinner.

YAL volunteers are needed to sell candles at the church services on Friday April 17th and Saturday April 18th.  If you are interested, please email [email protected] for more information and exact times. 

May God bless you with His love and forever keep you in His grace.
