CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO | MAY 21, 2020

Mother’s Day takeout feast in North Beach Marc Bruno from the St. Vincent de Paul Society conference at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in San Francisco shared photos “concerning one example of the many restaurants giving hope to the city by staying open, doing their best to keep their heads above water.” Here are the restaurant workers and supporting staff at Piazza Pellegrini in North Beach cooking and delivering neighborhood Vincentian volunteers’ 100 Mother’s Day to-go meals at Sts. Peter and Paul for the homeless and elderly. “While they are not doing this for free, at $10 per meal they are just barely paying the bills,” Bruno said. “Piazza Pellegrini does not own its building and has a high overhead. Producing 100 plates for the homeless and elderly during the pandemic is truly an act of grace.”

Miller has been staff to Bishop Lopes since 2015 when she joined the ordinariate, which serves Anglican men and women who have joined the Roman Catholic Church and is based in Houston, Texas. For more than two decades Miller served in the chancery and parishes of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, including as cantor at St. Paul Parish.
