District of Melbourne Churches Unite to Support the Five Loaves Initiative
As a caring and practical response to the growing number of Melbourne’s homeless and disadvantaged the Five Loaves Initiative is expanding to multiple parishes.
With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Markarios, His Grace Bishop Kyriakos of Sozopolis met with Parish priests from the District of Melbourne and the Five Loaves team to discuss the expansion of the Program into their parishes.
Saints Constantine and Helen in South Yarra will be the first parish to begin on Thursday 8th September, cooking, packaging and distributing hot meals.
On Sunday 11th September they will also be involved in a family, fun sandwich making day. This program will continue every week in a different parish.
Once again, this Thursday the Five Loaves team, prepared an amazing meal of roast chicken, pesto pasta, rice and vegetables, rizogalo (Greek rice pudding) and home baked cakes was a smashing hit with the many vulnerable in our community.
If you would like to get involved, please contact your local parish priest.
