The St. Elizabeth Center is part of Catholic Charities’ presence in Lorain County and is the result of an emergency shelter that was started at the old St. Joseph Church on the corner of 15th & Reid Avenue in Lorain. Now in it’s permanent location, the shelter houses and feeds at least 50 guests 365 days a year.
Holy Trinity has chosen the First Sunday of the month to supply these guests with a cooked meal. Every month we share here on the website and in the Sunday bulletin the requested meal items and ask parishioners to prepare and then package your portion of the meal for spill proof transportation. Please drop off your meal in the church parking lot on the 1st Sunday of the Month between 2:30-3 p.m.
Due to the Easter Holiday, we will collect the dinner items on Saturday, April 4th from 1:00 -1:30 pm. Please pull behind the school building and stop at the exterior kitchen door.
The Holy Trinity meal for April 5th is: Ham (carved and ready to serve), scalloped potatoes, green beans, rolls and dessert.
