A great Sunday evening of fun, worship and giving by the Youth Ministry resulted in over 250 sandwiches that will be given out by Saint Martin de Porres to members of Seattle's homeless and impoverished community. A great way to follow Pope Francis' teachings of reaching out to those who are poor and marginalized.
