We have been trying to find a group or church on the west side of the city that we can refer people to to get help with furniture.  We have a large area of our own to serve and just can't cover any more of Rochester than we already do.  We tried once before; we had over a 6 month waiting period to  visit them and give them  furniture.  So we had to circle our wagons and stick to our parish area.

We had a good turnout last night and had a lively discussion about the problems facing our neighborhood this summer and fall.

Probably the largest problem is the frequent gathering of youth on Arnett and the subsequent fighting, blocking of the street, vandalism, etc. Most recently the young people have been pulling up the lose pavers in front of His Branches and carrying them around the neighborhood, throwing some at houses and windows.  (217…
