St. Anthony’s in Michigan City is collecting gently used coats to assist in the Mayor’s coat drive.  Sr. Cheryl at the hospital is collecting them in her office.   Concord Cleaners has generously offered to clean them for free.

 

The coats can be dropped off any time through January 15th.  If you get them to the front desk, they can get them to Sr. Cheryl. Though, her office is just to the right of the front desk.  The Mayor is asking for children and adult sized coats.

The reality is that in many ways, the world is healthier, more prosperous and more peaceful than at any time in history. Thus we face the paradox of a world that is both turbulent and tranquil at the same time. How do we calm the unrest, spread prosperity and show that the world can be, and in fact is, a better place to live?
