Contributed by Holy Cross Catholic Church On July 1st, participants from the 4-H Healthy South Texas Youth Ambassador program visited Holy Cross Catholic Church in Yorktown as part of a county-wide educational tour of DeWitt County. The tour was coordinated by Andrew Hahn and Kaitlyn Roeder, in collaboration with Denise Goebel, DeWitt County Extension Agent.
In addition to stops at the Respondek Cotton field and Seams Like Home, the group visited the Giving Garden at Holy Cross to learn more about its mission and to participate in a hands-on service project. During their time at the garden, the ambassadors learned about the origins of the ministry, which began four years ago, the effort it took to establish the garden, and how it continues to serve the community today.
At the heart of the Giving Garden Ministry is a deep belief that through God, all things are made possible. It is through His guidance and provision that both the Giving Garden and the Blessing Box have been established and continue to flourish as a blessing to the community.
