Brothers in New York gear up for Part II of Summer Ministry
July 3rd, 2009 by Br. Peter Martyr Joseph Yungwirth, O.P.
Br. Albert Duggan, O.P. and Br. Peter Martyr Joseph Yungwirth, O.P. were assigned to work with the Missionaries of Charity in the Bronx through the summer. After spending two weeks working in a soup kitchen and a night shelter, the brothers just finished a week of preparation for a summer camp which the Missionaries run every year.
On Thursday, the brothers spent a day of retreat with the other camp counselors spiritually preparing to help the poor children of the South Bronx find the Lord this summer. The retreat day included a trip to the Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Washington, NJ and was full of prayer and adoration. Please pray for the brothers, the Missionaries of Charity, and the other camp counselors as they seek to bring the Gospel to the children of the South Bronx this summer.
