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.
