Members of Santa Maria parish spent their Labor Day Sunday 2019 serving the seniors and homeless at St. Mary’s Center in Oakland. A big shout out for those who helped with food, kitchen setup, serving, and cleanup: Maggie Reeves, Mary Doherty, Anne Fuller, Dede Ramsay, George Fahd, Marita Platon, Walter Peyton, Ignacia Guzman, Susan Hamilton, Margaret Govednik, Marina Gracias, Wendy Bond, Janet Riley and Gail Gabriel. The attendees enjoyed the enchiladas, salsa/chips, salad and brownies. It was a wonderful experience for the parishioners to talk to the attendees, watch dominoes being played and to hear of one man’s journey from the midwest, the east coast and now California.
