14,721 cans of food. Assume ~250 calories/can, that represents 3,680,250 calories. That's enough for 1,840 human-days worth of nutrition (@ 2,000 calories/day). What an incredible accomplishment for the school - so proud of them!
I love that you did the math on this to demonstrate how deeply impactful such acts of kindness can be.
Tomorrow I volunteer at my church St. Germaine as a catechumen at fourteen years old, I will be handing out presents and food to those who can’t afford, I’m only 14 but the church has helped my world view so much, I can’t wait to be received this year. I’m also great full because although my parents are atheist they take me to events like these and church ofc. Glory to God, and may the people who cannot afford this stuff be blessed!
Christianity in practice! God bless the students. Amen! It sent chills all over me.
It's shameful that there is so much need in a Country that has such bounty ! Truly heartwarming to see such selfless giving from these young people. Gives me some hope for the future. Thank you for sharing 🥰
Inspiring, God is smiling!
I'm a member of the church of Jesus christ of latter-day saints, but I've volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul. There are a lot of people who come in for food.
Housing and food are at a low in availability since perhaps even the Great Depression. It is our duty to provide for those who cannot and to help them obtain opportunities they otherwise could not obtain. Pax tecum! We have work to do.
Father, we need more clergy people making videos just like this more than once a year. Prayers for Maccon, Georgia. Please pray for the Midwest, and we'll keep praying here, for all of you, too. God bless.
Both as Christians, AND as Catholics, we are obliged to help. Our whole concept of mercy and selfless love, should call upon ALL of us to go OUT. And help.
Very inspiring to see school kids engaging in acts of charity! The world does not need heroes, it just needs everyone to do something small where they are with the little they have.
Faith without the willingness to serve your fellow man and woman is not faith. It is just posturing. It is just moral grandstanding. Kudos to these students for living out their faith, and I applaud you, Father Casey, for highlighting their work, which would normally go unsung. Hopefully it will inspire more of us to do the same.
I just want to say. Faith is all a person has to on fastly onto. They are the impoverished, ill and mentally ill. Those that Love the Lord but cant do what you are calling living outwardly our catholic faith with actions of the likes here. Just what l am saying their faith is true and just also.
Blessings.
Why am I crying....to see young people be so selfless....SAINTS!
I’ve been working with St. Vincent de Paul near Atlanta for about a year now. It’s not perfect but it’s given me so much joy. I know a young couple near me who’s created a family ministry - just them - taking in homeless folks, one at a time. It’s just inspiring to see young people GIVING of themselves. As I was unloading food from my car for one of our friends in need she gave the most amazing compliment. “This is how it’s supposed to work,” she said. Yes indeed! This IS how it’s supposed to work.
14,752 !!!! That is amazing. What a great Catholic school.
Thank you, Father Casey. It's very inspiring to see these young people caring for others in their community. And, it was nice to see Bishop Parkes blessing all the food! He used to be a pastor in our Diocese of Orlando. Several years ago we had a food drive competition among the different departments in our organization. It turned out to be one of the biggest donations the local food pantry received that year. I volunteer at a local food bank and it's heartbreaking how many individuals and familes are in great need of food. You are a great example to your students.
You will know them by their fruits, and those are some fine foods!
Organizations like FoodCommune in Atlanta collect and distribute surplus food that would otherwise be thrown out for being imperfect or close to its sell-by date. It's perfectly good food sold at the cost of collection/storage or even given away for free. Other communities could benefit from duplicating the model!
Thankssss Father for this testimony..
We are used to working together in our parishes.
We are in Argentina, where poverty is a cruel reality... But here we are, our vocation: to serve as Christ asks us...
Join in prayers... thanks
Thank you, Father, thank you.
Faith should be shared .Good work well done
Thank you for sharing this. Very encouraging.
Great school program. My wife volunteered at a local year round food and clothing pantry at the local Episcopal Church. Unfortunately, surgery prevented my participation. Most of the volunteers are retired.
God Bless the students for stepping up
Great young people!!!!
Wow! What a testament to our young high schoolers and their dedication-GOD bless them and you, Padre. Thank you for posting this-it gives us hope for the future!
The grocery store here will let us go to the back door. They will bring boxes of food. Like they are shipped on the skid.. That makes it easier to pick up and they can have the cost already totaled so it doesn't clog up the checkout lanes... Hasn't the store suggested this to you? Maybe you should suggest it to the manager see if they can do anything.
Ive been on both sides of that line. As a kid there were winters my mother had to chose from the gas bill and food for my sister and I. There were more than a few days my mom didn't eat. Now i donate a least a few dollars to food pantries every month. I might not be able to give hundreds but if i cant help 1 person that was my mom's place
God Bless thank you for helping
As a knight, i have had the pleasure of helping just one man. He could barely speak and required a handler. In a group of people when he played games and shot finger guns and I'd act with him. He ran up to me at one of our events for christmas and said, "Hey, you." And hugged me, he didnt have a handler. He couldnt communicate well still, but you can never know what small thing will change someone's life.
This is a beautiful story!
Beautiful 🤩 Truly Christlike!
God blesses others through us. May we listen to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to do that which we can.
Your very lucky to be in a community where service to others is a way of life. In other parts of the country that is not the mind set. Keep up the good work.
But maybe Christians could help changing the mind set? Things start slowly, and other people see and maybe want to help too
What is now a social service and homeless shelter with two locations in my area began as a coalition of local churches simply giving people a meal and a bed in the evening. I had the privilege to work there for a while.
Have you asked food banks what they need? We receive some food assistance from our church but things like canned soup are not as useful or healthy as beans. Chickpeas, flour, rice, dry pasta. We can make more meals with those things that canned soups and veggies.
It's not bad to have soup sometimes. Especially if they have a busy day. Families with children, or single parents can get overwhelmed. It can be easier for a kid to open a can of soup. If they have kids it might even be nice to have some snacks for school lunches. So your advice for healthy food is good but diversity and convenience is nice too.
Like you say it is best to talk to the food bank. Instead of asking what they need it might be worth seeing about donations. The food bank here has professional shoppers who go around to all the towns to every sale, clip all the coupons. They get to know the store managers and get discounts. They know what their clients like and they know all the restrictions Like some foods that they are not allowed to give away, or it has to be packaged certain ways.
@@br.m Yes, I've started doing all monetary donations to food banks for just that reason- they know exactly what they need and they can take advantage of sales and leverage bulk buying. It was a challenge at first because it felt less personal, like just throwing money at a problem instead of participating in helping, but I believe making the help more effective is more important than "feeling more like I'm helping."
This is so beautiful, I'm going to pray for all of you so you all can continue this beautiful work, This is huge and your message so necessary in times like these, everyone can help in some way, and together we can make the difference.
Beautiful to see. God bless those students, and you.
God Bless
This gets to me. I did not know that in the US this is such a problem. Here in Europe we have parts, especially in the south where it is also very bad. I am glad that my sisters and brothers of my Roman-Catholic faith are doing this, especially because of the fact that they are young people. This gives me hope for humanity and also for our Catholic Church which I love so much. All in the love of God!
God bless the students. Wow what a job
This is so inspiring 🙌 😊
I want to bounce an idea off you Father and others. I was praying this morning (Pentecost) for the Holy Spirit when the term "Fruity Catholics" came to mind. What this means is those who are dedicated to fostering he fruits of the Holy Spirit in their lives (see Gal 5; 22-23). I have seen tons of angry Catholic deploring the evils in the Church and World, and too many weepy Catholics deploring their multitude of sins. But I was raised to believe that Catholic faith is a thing of joy and a life of love. What if there were a Facebook group (I could not find one today) called Fruity Catholics (ok, or another name) that was POSITIVE, joyful and constructive. I wonder if anyone would join...
Hello! ❤ I love your videos and they help me a lot ❤😊
I wish i was raised in this kind of environment. Imagine what you can do with this mindset at an early age. Took me alot of time and hard lessons learned to come to a grateful and giving heart.
This example will help change the world.God give joy to each one.
Very christlike yes keep it up God is with you.
Awesome. Brilliant content. God bless you Father Casey 🙏🙏. You watching Massimo Zimbardi Italian yes he Italian in Italy Republic.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love- Mother Teresa😢
Truly inspiring ❤
Love this, love the kids. It is uplifting to see them accomplishing good works, and uplifting as well to see them smiling and happy, with positive attitudes instead of all-consuming sulkiness, petulance, or rage. God bless them and the parents who so obviously have shown their love by properly providing for their education and their souls.
This is wonderful to see. I hope this will be just the beginning of a whole life of charity work for the students.
St. Vincent de Paul ministry is the goat 🥹 The families, the single mother, the hard working immigrant, the financially struggling college student and so on it helps is Heaven on Earth by the love of Christ through us.
FAAANNNNtastic!!!! I usually give cases of vegetables. I never thought of soup. I'll hit that aisle next time. I love the one girl who cleaned out the Campbell's Chunky Soups. Those are great soups. They stick to the ribs. And, they aren't the cheap Chicken soups. Go for it kids. You are doing a great job. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
This is so beautiful. All these young people with such a giving spirit.
So beautiful!
In Grand Junction CO Holy Family School and Immaculate Heart of Mary parish collect for Thanksgiving Baskets. Classrooms will get bragging rights for the most cans and turkeys. The whole Parish joins in. We have a reverse collection, parishoniers pick a piece of paper listing one needed item. Money can also be donated anything needed. This year, we delivered 156 baskets. Each basket has enough food to make a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings, including a good-sized turkey, pies, and goodies. It will easily feed a family of 4 for two days or more. The leftover turkeys, parishable non-perishable goods, are taken to Catholic Outreach to assist with the everyday noon meal. The extra money is used to help people in need that come to the office during the year.
Father this was very inspirational and it is I think an awareness that is beneficial to all the communities to share. I enjoy watching your content, even though I’m not Catholic. I am an Episcopalian however, I find a lot of common ground and the things that you share with the greater community.
This is truly amazing. I wished this sort of thing got more publicity through more main stream ways. Who knows how much it would snowball? Many prayers! Great job kids! ✝️📿☮️
Beautiful. Love - willing the good of the other. Very humbling and inspiring. God bless.
Well done, young ladies!! PLEASE keep up your selfless contributions, time and effort! Sorry, guys, you too!! Thank you! Pax et bonum
Nice touch with the CAN pun in the title 👍 btw doing a great job 💯
Yes, we should try to help our community members if and where we can. Plus, not just helping during the Christmas holiday, but, throughout the year. Good jobs with the kids and food giving.
AMEN.
This is beautiful
Love this! How Catholic! At our best!
God bless 🙏
Thank you Father
Indeed
Aww, they even blessed the food!
You have no idea how weird it is to see the Penske truck in the background. I work for Penske! Lol
Same in the UK where foodbank use has dramatically increased over the last decade... thanks to Tory rule!
Well done, to the kids, for collecting so much. 😀
I was reading writer's of the Scottish Enlightenment. Adam Smith saw capitalism and industrialization as a means to relieve the overcrowding and material poverty at the time. The idea was that this would free us from the misery and depravity that too often results from want and simultaneously free us up for higher pursuits, such as the worship of God or the pursuit of happiness. We have achieved great material prosperity. Capitalism worked. However, we can't seem to overcome the association between material poverty and moral destitution. We must stop acting as if poverty is the result and not the the cause of moral blight. Poverty is not a crime. We have enough. We need a better way to share the material wealth capitalism and industrialization have given us so that we can focus on intellectual, moral, social, and spiritual development. So we can focus on God, who has called us to care for one another, who are worth so much more than a sparrow.
This. In the wealthiest country in the world
I loved seeing the priest bless the food.
I love these kids. 🥹
I love this video
Jesus. You are GLORIOUS!
Amen ✝️🛐❤️🔥
Matt 5:16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
May God bless you, fr Casey
I wish I could give more than one thumbs-up....
Church being Church 🙂
🙏🙏🙏
Hello. It's 4am here in the Philippines, I wanted to ask if MISA DE GALLO is also practiced in the US? I just wonder. Thanks 😅
Yes it is, Midnight Mass😊. Merry Christmas! ❤the Philippines 🇵🇭
That is indeed holy, but I would like to understand why to donate food when you could've donated money...
Food banks can often purchase food for pennies per pound, much less than we could purchase at retail. Collecting food is wonderful, but donating money is very cost effective.
Hello!
Hari nawa ang Panginoon
Amen
I'm not trying to start something but you really need to talk about the latest Pope drama. It's hurting my head
❤
Iove you rather casey
Church at Macedonia.
The worst disease in America is being poor.
To the girl working downtown, i feel so ashamed.
🥰👍🙌🙏🕊
Subtitled please
Plenty of jobs everywhere and all positions are hiring. They could get jobs and work lots of overtime like the rest of us. That is how we pay for food, housing, health care etc.
This is not always true, and it's also not a very helpful approach. I can tell you that most of the people at the food panty are elderly. Are you suggesting that a 75 year old go and work for McDonalds? Do you think McDonalds is going to hire them? There are many people, because of physical, mental, or social situations are unemployable. Simply telling people to "go out and get a job" is very un-Christian because it dismisses people without even encountering them.
Catholic social services offer you a sandwich but hold it hostage unless you pray to their pagan gods.
BUT have those families been vetted? How many hve cars? The Monks opened a food kitchen here in the UK offering 3 course dinners. Whole families were coming and in their cars. It was shut down. The wheat needs to be sifted from the weeds.
I live in the UK and sceptical of your story. Details please.
What does owning a car have to do with it? We receive help from our church. We have cars. We need them to get to work etc.
@@rosg1746 I seem to remember reading the story a few years back but I can't remember the Abbey involved. It seemed to go like an abbey had been offering a nice free meal to travellers since way back. Many undeserving people took them up on the offer. In response to this they cut back the free meal to something like a bowl of soup and bread or cheese and bread so only truly in need would ask for it as it was so plain and the undeserving stopped coming. I have tried to find the name of the abbey involved but cant refind.
There is only One Holy Father. GOD (John 17:11 KJV). There is only One Rock. GOD/Christ (Deuteronomy 32 KJV and
1 Corinthians 10:4 KJV). There is only One head of the church. Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23 KJV and Colossians 1:18 KJV).
There is only One Vicar of Christ (representing Christ on earth). GOD/Holy Spirit (John 14:26 KJV).
And every true believer who confesses faith in Christ like Peter are all together built up a spiritual house/church and are as successors of Peter and the disciples as a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:5, 9 KJV).
The pope is none of these things.
Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church....Matthew 16:18; faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17-20.
Maybe stick to the subject of the video?
@@richardauten7179 Holy Scripture (GOD's Word) should always be the subject talked about and glorified.
Peter's faith and confession of Christ (Who is the true Rock/Petros) makes a sinner like Peter (a stone/petras) the church along with other believers who are as living stones built up a spiritual house (the Church). Peter explained what Matthew 16:18 KJV means in 1 Peter 2:4-8 KJV which says that true believers are as living stones (Petras) built up a spiritual house (spiritual church built on the cornerstone Petros/Rock Who is Christ and a confession of Him as the Christ). By the way, Christ again said the same thing to all His disciples which also applies to every believer in Matthew 18:18 KJV concerning a believer's power of binding and loosing or retaining and remitting. Again, all true believers are kings and priests.
Here is a practical example of that. As a real king and priest in the true church I myself have the authority to tell you that your sins are retained if you do NOT believe that Christ died one time shedding his real blood and giving His real body on a real cross for the forgiveness of all your sins, past, present, and future, and that as a true believer you now have eternal life and are sealed for Heaven. But, if you think you still have sin to be forgiven through sacramental works then again I inform you that your sins are retained. I cannot forgive sin only GOD can but I do have the authority of the Gospel to tell you the truth of GOD's Word just like Peter did.
Time running out
CANT TALK WHAT IS NEXT???????????
