Daybreak Update
What is Daybreak? Daybreak is a homeless shelter located in downtown Joliet. The evening meals
for the residents are provided solely by contributions prepared and served from the congregations
of local churches and community organizations. This ministry at St. Mary’s has committed to
supplying the dinner six times per year along with the provisions for breakfast the following day.
We need you! Please sign up to prepare food for the July meal. Being so close to the holiday we are
in great need. Remember to mark your calendar with the date and time.
July meal. Our next meal is Tuesday, July 2. The pick up time is 5:30 – 6:00 p.m. in front of the
church. We will be serving a pork chop dinner including baked potatoes, vegetable casseroles and
salads. The sign up poster will be in the commons after all Masses beginning on June 15 through
July 2. We will be serving brats, hamburgers, and a variety of salads. Please check the poster for

2 liter bottles of soda, orange juice or fruit juice, dry cereal, hot cereal, eggs, bacon, tea, and coffee .
Thank you! We would like to thank everyone who has cooked, donated or served a meal. This
ministry would not be such a success if it were not for the parishioners who volunteer their time and
culinary skills .
