Covenant House Ministry
The Knights of Columbus Council #10872 has been assisting in Sunday breakfast
preparation and serving for 17 years at Covenant House - Texas. During the
weekdays and on Saturdays, residents are served cold breakfast but on Sunday
they receive a hot cooked meal with the Knights assistance..... Occasionally, we
are also asked to assist preparing sacked sandwich lunches to be served early in
the week to resident and non-resident clients.....
We have a regular schedule where each of 6 teams supports Covenant House in
succession (working 1 week in 6). We typically meet at the church and park at
the green building behind the parish center at 7:00 a.m. and carpool downtown.
We cook, serve, and perform minor cleanup and return to CGS in time for 10:45
a.m. mass.
This is a great ministry. The troubled teens need some responsible father figures
with whom to interact to serve as role models. We show them that nonpaid
Catholic men do care about them and their needs. It warms your heart to be
able to provide a positive influence to kids needing to know someone loves them.
The volunteer schedule is regular which assists in personal planning. We have
sufficient Knights on each team such that you don't feel bad if you miss a week.
You can perform volunteer duties, attend church, and still have your Sunday
afternoons and evenings free. You work with other Knights and develop a close
camaraderie.
Dave Broussard ( dbroussard@totalsafety.com ) leads this ministry and can
assist you in volunteering for one week to see if this is a ministry that you would
like to perform long term.
