For instance, one of Detroit's most significant charities is <a href="http://www.focushope.edu" rel="nofollow">Focus:HOPE</a>, which runs a huge food pantry and a strong job-training program. Focus:HOPE, of course, was founded by a priest, Father William T. Cunningham. I'm currently tutoring a couple hours a week for a <a href="dlcliteracy.org" rel="nofollow">literacy center</a> run by Dominican nuns. Statues of Mary aside, maybe we have a thing or two to learn from our Catholic friends.

I also read an article in the Parade insert in the Sun. paper about a church in Detroit opening up during the weekday for a shelter for the homeless. I had tears reading it! I love Detroit (my hometown is 45 min. north) so this is also close to my heart. Thanks, girl!!! I will definitely be looking forward to reading your upcoming posts.
