Parting Words from our Notre Dame Summer Intern
To the My Brother’s Keeper Family, Thanks to each and every one of you for making my eight weeks at My Brother’s Keeper so fulfilling and incredible.

“Please Promise That You Will Pray For My Katie”

The 1st Fall River Delivery…
In 1988 when God began My Brothers Keeper in the basement of our Taunton home, I would head north to Brockton each morning in the “Green Monster,” a beat-up farm truck which broke down as often as it ran. Now, twenty-four years later I was driving through Taunton again. This time I was in Saint Peter, a reliable, closed-bodied delivery …
Privilege to Serve
Volunteers Jack Cahill, Sheryl Gray and I recently delivered furniture to a man named John who lived in a Brockton Housing Authority apartment. Jack drove the truck while Cheryl navigated. When we arrived, we entered a very small one bedroom apartment without basic furniture to sit on. The kitchen was also sparsely equipped, lacking many common necessities. John was sitting …
