CFR Outreach

Helping out on the grounds of a monastery in Newark.

Volunteers spend three hours a month helping renew, restore, and refurbish a Friar’s home in Newark, so it can ultimately serve as a soup kitchen and retreat center. The volunteers are assigned various jobs, such as gutting a room, moving furniture, yard work etc. Once the work is completed, the Friars and volunteers share a meal together.

Raking leaves for the Friars.
