☆☆☆ A very Happy Feast of St Francis Xavier to one and all ☆☆☆
Our NGO started off as a FOOD BANK, but today offers numerous other services to the poor, needy , homeless & those suffering from disabilities with the food bank the most important service as hunger knows no boundaries.
Today sermon @ Holy Mass at 7am delivered by
Fr BONIFACIO FURTADO in Konkanni at OLD GOA was very touching.
Whatever was preached at today sermon is what is exactly we do at our NGO.
One should go thru the YouTube and hear his sermon.
I being a Roman Catholic and a follower of Christ , I need to walk the path the Jesus Walked.
Recently Pope Francis released a document
” PREDICATO DE EVANGELOU ”
Which means ” PREACH THE GOSPEL ” both in words and deeds.
At Steeet Providence its about the deeds which is primarily feeding the poor through our FOOD BANK last 5 years & taking care of the homeless through our REHABILITATION HOMES besides numerous other services to the downtrodden.
Pope Francis explains the we all need to get involved in the lives of the poor , the sick , the downtrodden.
As preached by Fr BONIFACIO FURTADO during his sermon ” WE NEED TO TOUCH THE SUFFERING CHRIST in THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS “.
And the best way to touch the lives of the poor is through food , clothing & shelter.
As a registered Food Bank, we offered free breakfast at the NOVENAS of St Francis Xavier @ old goa on 30th Dec. 1st Dec & 2nd Dec with the support of Navtara Restaurant and through the kind service of our volunteers Mr ARTURO D'Souza & his wife and Mrs Ana Gracias who were serving the breakfast.

Running Food Banks is not an easy and simple service.
We have an official license FROM FDA/ FSSAI to run a food bank and that keeps the officials away from troubling us as we are within the law to provide these free feeding services.
Once again thanks to alot of people who have been dropping their extra cooked food In our fridges last 5 years and a big thank you to our benefactors.
Once again A Very Happy Feast of St Francis Xavier to one and all.
God bless you all
