I was even more impressed by how the parish takes to heart the words of dismissal at Mass: \u201cGo in peace, to love and serve the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five nights a week, the parish opens its <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyhometakeout.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tiny Home Takeout program<\/a>. From an 8-by-10-foot shed \u2014 a \u201ctiny house\u201d \u2014 a team of staff and volunteers serve 300 restaurant quality takeout meals. Calzones, pizzas or sandwiches, along with a \u201cdaily bite\u201d (usually a salad in the summer or a hot casserole or soup in the winter), are packaged to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who can afford to do so are invited to make a donation, but the meals are especially intended for people experiencing homelessness. \u201cWhether you\u2019re living on the street, squeezing your grocery budget to pay the bills, or living a middle-class life, Tiny Home Takeout is happy to feed you and your family,\u201d reads its program description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The genesis of this creative and compassionate outreach effort was an unexpected early November snowstorm in 2019. Most of the city\u2019s unhoused people, as well as the city\u2019s service organizations, were unprepared for the early extreme weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Area churches were asked if they might provide temporary shelter. A group of dedicated parishioners and St. Mary\u2019s pastor, <a href=\"https:\/\/stmarysrcchurch.ca\/fr-toby-collins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resurrectionist Father Toby Collins<\/a>, said yes. They opened the parish hall and welcomed unhoused people into the warmth of the parish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"447\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.maryknollsociety.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/18-21-Tiny-Houses-01.jpg\" alt=\"Staff and board members, including Resurrectionist Father Toby Collins (far right) serve at A Better Tent City in Kitchener, Ontario.

The project is supported by its community partners such as St. Mary Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. (Courtesy of Toby Collins\/Canada)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Collins and the parishioners soon realized that their guests could benefit from nutritious food and the fellowship that can accompany it. They invested in a full commercial kitchen and hired Chef Amy Cyr. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Js0IcFsRiZs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tiny house<\/a> was set up next to the church for distributing the meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman who received help expressed her appreciation with these words: \u201cThis means love, it means being family together. This is where Jesus would come, to people like us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around that time, tiny houses were being introduced in the Kitchener area in another way to help people experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the area\u2019s unhoused people were staying in tents on vacant corner lots, Father Collins explains. They faced precariousness and danger in these random, informal encampments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with many other community partners, St. Mary\u2019s joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abettertentcity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Better Tent City (ABTC)<\/a>. This project replaces tents and other makeshift shelters with well-built tiny houses in a safe, supportive setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/486941338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The 42 tiny houses<\/a>, which are wired with electricity for heat and light, are grouped around larger structures with facilities for showering, washing laundry and cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 50 residents live in ABTC. The neighborhood-like model provides safety and the opportunity for community among residents \u2014 and at the same time, respect for their privacy and individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"900\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.maryknollsociety.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/18-21-Tiny-Houses-02.jpg\" alt=\"The Tiny Home Takeout of St. Mary Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows parish in Kitchener, Ontario, is open five days a week and serves meals to go.

It gives them their own homes where they can put in shelves, and customize, and paint,\u201d says Father Collins, who serves as secretary for ABTC\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also a tool that brings other volunteers in,\u201d he continues. \u201cPeople say, \u2018I want to do something about homelessness.\u2019 This gives them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jY9KFrQMQsA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">points [of contact]<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Bank of Waterloo Region makes weekly deliveries and the Sanguen Health Center mobile unit visits regularly. Drug management and treatment services are provided on-site. Costs are covered through donations, the support of businesses and community partners, and collaboration with local and state departments and agencies. \u201cEverybody helps,\u201d Father Collins says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe still face challenges,\u201d states the A Better Tent City website. \u201cLiving in an 8\u2019x10\u2019 cabin is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1hhRe1HHkfU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not the solution to the homelessness crisis<\/a>.\u201d Residents have complicated needs: unemployment, substance abuse, physical and mental health issues. And as successful as the project may be, it is not a substitute for permanent housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe cannot cure homelessness,\u201d the website adds. \u201cBut we can make a difference in the lives of 50 people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of this powerful witness of service at the Tiny Home Takeout and A Better Tent City is strong. It is present among the volunteers who help out and the recipients who benefit. It is present in each takeout meal served and in each tiny house inhabited. These buildings are small, but their impact is huge because of the enormous love being shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joy of the Gospel can clearly be seen through the ministries of St. Mary Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows parish. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/?s=pope+francis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pope Francis<\/a> would be pleased. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Featured image: A resident of A Better Tent City in Ontario, Canada, stands outside a tiny house.
