"Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him

day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that

justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he

find faith on earth?" - Lk 18:7-8

Line Road, Batesville,

4:00pm—6:00pm. Tour the facility and

enjoy light refreshments. BARC is now

home to the Batesville Food Pantry and

the Southeast Indiana Health Clinic.

Food Pantry During November

and December

we see a

significant

increase in usage

at the food

pantry. Each household is offered extras

during the holiday months and it all goes

very quickly. Your help in providing the

extra food we need is so much

appreciated and we honestly couldn't do

it without your generosity. St. Louis

Parish is asked to donate canned fruit

and fruit juices. The holidays can be a

very stressful and difficult time for those

in need. The little extras they receive

make a world of difference to our clients

and their children.
