General Announcements 

Simple Soup and Bread fundraiser benefitting Crisis Office set for Holy Thursday, March 28

The annual Simple Soup and Bread Luncheon to support the archdiocesan Crisis Office will take place in Assembly Hall at the Archbishop Edward T. O’Meara Catholic Center at 1400 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, from 11:30 a.m.-12:45 p.m. on Holy Thursday, March 28. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., a short prayer service will take place at 11:45 a.m., and lunch will be served at 11:55 a.m.

This year’s program is in remembrance of the late Stephanie Davis, who served as the program director for Catholic Charities Indianapolis Crisis Office and its Christmas Store for many years. 

The Crisis Office offers assistance to low-income persons residing in Marion County unable to provide for basic necessities such as shelter, food and clothing. Services include linking clients with existing community resources, access to a food pantry and clothing room, bus tickets for job transportation, medication prescription assistance and limited rental assistance.

With the number of people seeking assistance from the Crisis Office increasing in the past year, the goal for the luncheon is to raise $10,000 to support those in need.

For donations of $50-$99 made prior to or at the event, donors will receive a handmade ceramic cross made by students at Roncalli High School in Indianapolis. Those donating $100 or more will receive an angel.

The cost for the luncheon is $10. Registration is preferred by March 22; however, walk-ups will be accepted. Registration is available online at tinyurl.com/soupbread24.

For more information, contact Cheri Bush at 317-236-1411 or cbush@archindy.org.
