“Eat and drink what they give you, for the worker is worthy of his wages.”

Luke 10:7

Shepherd’s Table

An Apostolate for Supporting our Priests

“The worker is worthy of his food.” — Matthew 10:10

Living the Gospel Together

When Jesus sent His disciples, He invited them to trust completely in Divine Providence. He sent them out with almost nothing, no gold, no bag for the journey, teaching them to rely on the kindness of those they would serve.

This is our chance to respond generously to our priests’ sacrifices with love, gratitude, and a wonderful meal.

The Goal

To provide a weekly community dinner and weekly groceries for priests at the Cumming House.

Why This Apostolate?

There is a real and present need.

Our priests have expressed the need for help in providing their weekly community meals. This is not something theoretical — it is a simple, concrete request where we, as a community, can step in.

Our priests, our spiritual fathers, have given their lives in service to us.

They are present in our joys and sorrows, guide us in faith, and pray for us constantly. They give quietly and ask for nothing in return.

This apostolate is a direct response to their need and a meaningful way to give back.

3 Simple Ways to Serve

We understand that life is busy, and everyone has different gifts, schedules, and resources. That’s why we’ve made it easy to support our priests in a way that works for you. Whether you can prepare a meal, make a donation, or provide groceries, every act of generosity helps care for those who care for us.

  1. Provide a Meal — Sign up to prepare a Monday community meal.
  2. Donate — Make a monthly or one-time donation to help provide meals when volunteers are unavailable.
  3. Provide Groceries — Purchase items from the priests’ weekly grocery list to help meet their household needs.

No matter how you choose to participate, your support makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our priests.

An Opportunity for Your Family

This apostolate is not only about providing a meal — it’s also about forming hearts.

By helping deliver meals to the priests, families can:

  • Involve their children in acts of charity
  • Teach love and gratitude for the priesthood
  • Build meaningful relationships with our spiritual fathers
  • Through these small acts of love, the seed of a vocation may grow

You are invited to be part of this initiative. It’s not about how much we give, but the love with which we give it.

When many give a little, God makes the offering bountiful.

May God help us to open our hearts so we can respond generously.
