Hello friends!  Please find a link for the most recent Helper below.  It features Becca Stevens and Thistle Farms, who Fr Howie spoke about in last week’s sermon.  You guys…I’m obsessed!  I encourage you to visit their page if you are sparked as I have been:  https://thistlefarms.org/. The story is uplifting, there are 10 good looking books (ooolala), and a lip balm for $4 among other natural and nourishing looking products.
