150 Random Acts of Kindness
As part of the one-hundred fiftieth anniversary at St. John Church in Loogootee, parishioners are doing 150 random acts of kindness.
Their good works may be something as simple as visiting a nursing home, taking someone a meal, mowing a lawn or babysitting.
A notebook has been placed in the back of church and parishioners are encouraged to list the good works they are doing in honor of their parish’s special anniversary.
