David Caron reported about 30 guests—among them “the poor, sick, homeless”—gathered along with about 10 volunteers for Christmas Day Mass at the Gift of Grace House, Atlanta. The home is run by the Missionaries of Charity to serve women who are poor and ill.

Following Mass, volunteers readied the tables for the guests. Caron played Christmas carols while the guests sang along.

“Mass at the Gift of Grace House is always a blessing. People come to pray there because they want to. They are not just fulfilling their Sunday obligation,” said Caron.
