Sacred Heart School baseball team serve up ham dinner on Holy Saturday to Matthew's Kitchen guests at St. Mary's Parish

Members of the Sacred Heart School baseball team The Saints hit a community service “home run” on Holy Saturday when they helped serve a ham dinner to guests of Matthew’s Kitchen at St. Mary’s Parish in North Plymouth.

The team, along with Saints Head Coach Mike Hurm, assisted Religious Studies instructor Andrea Hurm by serving up a complete ham dinner at Matthew’s Kitchen in the Church’s parish center, where a hot meal is provided for those in need each Saturday at noon. Not only did the students dish up the meal, they also prepared “to go” packages of turkey sandwiches and other goodies for guests to take with them.

“Perhaps, even more important than the food, these fine young men took the time to mingle with all the guests and learn a bit about their lives,” said Andrea Hurm. “The guests were touched by the acts of kindness with many taking the time to complement our thoughtful students.”

Food items for the lunch were donated by Sacred Heart 7th grade students.
