“I called MOLC because I was in a crisis struggling with personal issues and was homeless with my baby daughter. MOLC helped me find shelter, visited me, and brought companionship and the supplies I needed. When I moved into an apartment, volunteers assisted with furniture, bedding, food, and other household supplies. I have maintained a job and I keep in touch with the Center. I am so grateful. All the support and love I have received at MOLC has helped me reclaim my life.”

The Mother of Light Center offers support and enrichment on Monday afternoons to young children in our community. It is here, where they are offered activities to help strengthen their education and master the English language. One way this is accomplished is through writing, and on a specific day, they were asked to write about their favorite thing to do. Many of the children wrote that they love to play soccer or play with their little brother or sister. Others wrote about how they enjoyed drawing or spending time playing and cuddling with their cat or dog. There was however, one young boy that expressed a different love. His favorite thing to do was going to Mass. He expressed the joy of saying the prayers, which he proudly said, he had learned them all, and how he loved the days they would go to adoration . Although all the choices of the children were wonderful, this one was somehow different. It appears that sometimes we are there to help guide and support the children, but sometimes they are there to help guide us.
