Meet the staff. A team beyond compare!

Pictured here is Father Robert Lacasse, OMI. Known to his parishioners as Padre Roberto. Raised and having attended schools in Lewiston, Maine, Padre Roberto is the founder of the Santa Cruz Soup Kitchen. It can be said he is the "Founding Father". During the school year he makes every effort to have lunch with the children at the soup kitchen. Next year Father Lacasse will be celebrating his 50th Jubilee as a priest. He hopes to come back to the Lewiston area to celebrate.

Also, sitting at the table with Padre Roberto is Sister Lida, the administrator of Santa Cruz Soup Kitchen. She is in charge of buying the needed food after she and Dona Benita plan out a menu.

Dona Bonita, serving beverages, is the Santa Cruz Soup Kitchen cook. She is also in charge of planning out the menu with Sister Lida and keeping inventory. She was instrumental in helping Padre Roberto furnish the soup kitchen.

Sister Rose, in the background serving the children has also been instrumental in helping Padre Roberto with the organizing of the soup kitchen. She helps Dona Benito with the cooking and serving.
