St. Elizabeth's Guild tours Catholic Charities sites
The women of St. Elizabeth’s Guild have raised money for the children’s programs of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans for decades through their annual volunteer activist luncheon and various other activities.
Today, about 35 women from the guild toured Catholic Charities programs they fundraise for: St. John the Baptist Head Start Center and Cafe Hope.
In addition to interacting with the children at St. John, the guild members and their guests got to see firsthand what their money went to, including tricycles and helmets for playtime.
At Cafe Hope, the ladies met several of the apprentices who serve as chefs and waiters during lunchtime, and enjoyed a delicious meal featuring fresh Louisiana ingredients. They were also able to learn about the latest initiative taken on by Cathoilc Charities, the Isaiah 43 program.
To view more photos from today’s tour, please visit the Catholic Charities Facebook page >
