Beautiful Spring Day

As we gear up for summer on this beautiful spring day we have been given, please don’t forget to register for the Capuchins Run/Walk for the Hungry on June 15th at PolishFest!

A Change of Heart

Most individuals stranded in Milwaukee who come to St Ben’s asking for assistance arrive at our doors penniless. So I was surprised a few days ago when Jake informed me that in his case lack of cash was not the problem. His family had Money-grammed him $100, but he knew not the location of either a Walmart where he could retrieve it, nor the transit center from where he could catch a bus back home to Marinette. He had spent the previous night outside at a bus shelter, and he wept now as he told me how scared and alienated he was feeling in this big city.

Faith, Hope and Charity

I may have mentioned this before but one of the great pleasures of raising funds for Capuchin Community Services is meeting the donors. I am always in awe of the wonderful and hopeful attitudes our supporters put into action. Recently I toured St. Anthony’s Hospital with the Falsetti Family. Dr. Tom Falsetti was my dentist before he retired. One day he shared with me that his father, Dr. Frank Falsetti was a pathologist at the old St. Anthony’s Hospital.

Season of Giving

We are in full swing here at Capuchin Community Services with our holiday season of giving. At this time, it so fulfilling to see so many coming in to help us serve our community of guests.
