St. Eulalia - Winchester/Arlington

Welcome to St. Eulalia Parish

Catholics find meaning and hope in Jesus Christ, whom God the Father 
has sent into the world for the salvation of all peoples.

“This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.” --Isaiah 58:6-7

Due to the tremendous response to the St. Eulalia Lenten project to directly combat hunger among our homeless neighbors by providing meals, we are continuing our ministry year-round, with “Hearty Meals for the Homeless.” We are beginning a monthly “Sandwiches for Spring/Summer.” There are numerous ways to participate and make an impact.

Individuals, families, and groups of friends may want to assemble sandwiches or make cookies, etc. Alternately, you may want to purchase prepared food to contribute. And there is also a slot for individually-packaged snacks.

Each signup slot should serve 25. We are trying to provide a total of 50 sandwiches, 50 servings of fruit salad/watermelon wedges, 50 servings of pasta or potato salad, 50 servings of dessert and 36 packaged snacks. 

Drop off to the Manion Hall kitchen on Sunday between 8:30 am and 6:00 pm OR on Monday mornings between 8:00 and 9:00 am. Go to the walk-in refrigerator in the back left of the kitchen, place your donation on the shelves on the right side, ideally, marked "Hearty Meals for Homeless." Volunteers will pick up the food and deliver to the Somerville Homeless Coalition Monday morning.

Please deliver food in a disposable container (or one you don’t need returned).

Background:

Shelters for the homeless are closed during the daytime hours. Somerville Homeless Coalition opened the Engagement Center three years ago to give folks a place to get shelter and protection from the elements, engage with others, be productive, and enjoy a meal. St. Eulalia formed a committee to plan a way we could get the parish involved in this important role as a Lenten practice and interest has been expressed to continue this ministry in the Easter season and beyond.
