A Cause to Dine For

“A Cause to Dine For” is an annual fundraiser held in June '09 for two ministries sponsored by the Sisters of Providence -- Providence Hospitality House, a shelter for women and children in the Seattle University District and Sojourner Place, a haven for women in transition located in the UW district. This year, over $90,000 dollars was raise for these two ministries. We are most grateful! See photos>

The Opening Prayer at the breakfast was given by Charlotte Van Dyke, SP, Board of Directors Chair, Pariseau Corp.

The Least of These

There’s a hungry one, lives in the street
There’s a thirsty one without a cup to drink
There’s a little one with no shoes on her feet.
There’s a family sleeping in the rain,
And the one abused will never be the same,
The addicted one with no one left to blame.
And all of these are my people.
And all of these long to be free.
And all of these are my beloved.
And all of these are me.

So when you hold out your hand selflessly,
And give help to the stranger in need,
Then whatever you do to the least of these
You do to me.

In a prison, so far from home,
I was lonely, so bitter and alone.
Evicted, illegal. Incurable. Different. Despised.
I was locked out – but you took me in.
I was at the end. You helped me to begin.
I’m a lot like you: Sister, brother, and friend.
So follow me into the Kingdom,
Follow me for you have been wise.
Follow me, you who have known me.
I was right before your eyes.

So when you hold out your hand selflessly,
And give help to the stranger in need,
Then whatever you do to the least of these
You do to me.
