St. Andrew's Church welcomes Sr. Linda Bessom, SND from Faith in Action Together, a program of the Mass. Coalition for the Homeless, for a panel discussion on how faith communities can mobilize to address the root causes of homelessness. The Coalition advocates for accessible services and decent, affordable housing as measures to prevent homelessness.

Also taking part in the discussion will be Len Dalton of Metrowest Outreach Connection, an all-volunteer advocacy organization for the homeless, and Janice Knapp-Cordes of Metrowest Interfaith Hospitality Network, a new organization hoping to offer shelter, meals and case management for homeless families transitioning to permanent housing.

Sr. Linda will also preach at the 10 a.m. service.
