"I'm going to plant peppers and squash and I've got a row of cucumbers over there," he said during an interview with Arkansas Catholic May 15. "I will probably plant some greens this fall. I might plant some radishes, onions and lettuce too."

Jackson said having the garden for the past few months has improved his attitude.

Good Soil Gardens gardener in interview with Arkansas Catholic

“I thank you so much for the cookies that you bring every month.  It is such a special treat...It is more than just feeding the body.  It is a message of telling those who have such great need that they matter and have worth.  That a wonderful gift you are giving...Your special dedication to the homeless, the working poor, the elderly, the physically and mentally handicapped and all those with needs we may not know or understand is priceless.”

"The confraternity of the Ladies of Charity sprang from God in order to honor our Lord Jesus Christ as the source and model of all charity." - St. Vincent de Paul


According to St. Vincent, the spirit of an association consists of those virtues which the Ladies of Charity should practice in the corporal and spiritual service of the poor as representing our Lord Jesus Christ.  These virtues are humility, simplicity and charity.
