The results are amazing, especially when it comes to the children's behaviors. One of the Nuns also gives music and singing classes.

To this must be added visits to families living in the surroundings, or which we are acquainted with, in order to better assess their needs in food, but also furniture, clothing, etc. During such visits, our religious people take up the opportunity to bring some pantry bags to these persons, to vary their diet.

Pastoral Care in a Hospital close to our church:
Every week, the religious from Fraternite Notre Dame bring a spiritual and moral support to the sick. Furthermore, Bishop Jean Marie has put one of his priests on call on a 24-hour basis, after the request of the sick; the former can reach out to them and help them, or give them the Sacraments if they so want it.

A Volunteer Program also exists to assist the religious of Fraternite Notre Dame: friends and people who are sympathetic with Fraternite Notre Dame, friends who are faithful in various churches and denominations, elderly persons and youth from several schools, clubs and groups, working to improve the neighborhood.

Many are those who give of their time, knowledge and skills in this way, to relieve such misery, help children.

Thank you again to all those who are so faithful to us, and welcome to all those who want to put sense into their lives, and have a living faith, by helping us in one way or another to relieve misery. May God bless them.

At the present time, Fraternite Notre Dame's members renovate, little by little and according to the financial help they receive, the lower-level of the church, to set up their new soup kitchen there, a more spacious area than the rented one they used to have before: the kitchen and dining room for the poor people, along with a large space reserved for the children of the after school program.

There is still much to be done, for the building is in very bad shape. You may help us through various ways, either financially, in kind or as volunteers in the premises.

We need to renovate this space as soon as possible, to allow the poor persons to whom we distribute sandwiches every day at the door, to come in inside have a seat and enjoy a real, hot meal.

We had to terminate working off the rented store front on Chicago Avenue, for it was very expensive, and the place was to small, that was were we first started serving the poor in a soup kitchen for the Austin Community.
