St. William’s Youth Group makes trip to Burnside
Seven members of
the St. W illiam ’s Youth
G roup accom panied by
three adult chaperones left
lone at the crack of dawn
on Saturday, May 23, for
a day long service experi
ence in the Burnside area
of Portland.
The group arrived
at the Downtown Chapel
at the appointed time of
8:45 laden with bagels and
coffee for the morning hos
pitality along with bags of
donated clothing, socks and
underwear. The Downtown
Chapel is a Roman Catholic
parish that has been serving
the basic needs of the poor
and marginalized in Old
Town Portland since 1919.
The group attended
to different duties at the
Downtown Chapel. One
group stood at the front
door and welcomed guests
to come upstairs for a cup
of coffee and a bagel. One
group served the bagels and
coffee. The rest of the group
took the opportunity to visit
with the morning guests.
The kids circulated from
job to job so they could
experience all aspects.
When hospitality
ended at 11 a.m. the group
sat down with Valerie Silli-
man, faith and service intern
at the Downtown Chapel.
Ms. Silliman gave an over
view of the day’s schedule
and a bit o f background
on the Downtown Chapel.
They then were sent off

WHAT IS THE APR?
When you compare mort
gage interest rates offered
by different banks, there’s
going to be a confusion fac
tor. Inevitably, you'll have to
compare the quoted interest
rate and then try to figure the
impact of the points added to
the price. Normally, the lower
the rate, the higher the points.
So which is the better rate, 6%
and one point or 5% and two
points.
The easiest way to get the
answer to this important ques
tion is to ask the lender what
the Annual Percentage Rate
(APR) is By law, the lender
must make this disclosure to
you. In effect HE will add the
quoted rate and the dollar rate
of the points, then make some
divine mathematical calcula
tion and come up with a true
rate. This is one which you can
compare from bank to bank.
Points are simply charges
assessed by a lender for ar
ranging the loan. In other
words, they are a form of in
terest collected in advance.
One point is the equivalent of
one percent of the mortgage
amount.

to Blanchet House where
they apprehensively got in
line for lunch. The group
had anticipated working at
Blanchet House but were
instead guests at the soup
kitchen. Blanchet House is
a remarkable facility that
puts out three hot meals
a day, six days a week to
anyone who arrives on
their doorstep. They effi
ciently feed approximately
300 people at each meal
and go from first diner to
clean up in about 1.5 hours.
The lone group ended up
experiencing "receiving”
from Blanchet House, a
concept they were not al
together comfortable with.
However, the experience
was good. The group was
not able to sit together but
almost every member found
a table mate w anting to talk
and share.
A fter lunch, the
group was taken on a w alk
ing tour of Old Town. Vari
ous agencies serving the
homeless, poor, and men
tally disabled were pointed
out and their roles were
explained. To conclude,
the group shared some time
back at the Downtown Cha
pel, reflecting on the day’s
events and the impact on
them and their faith.
“ It is our goal to
build empathy for people
who have such a different
life from us,” said trip co
ordinator, Anne Morter. “A
problem we really hadn’t
thought much about is lone
liness and many people re
ally enjoyed having some
one to talk to.”
G roup m em bers
attending the day were
Clay Morter, Tyree Svetich,
Toon Junnoi, Beth Morter,
Stephanie Medina, Alex Ri-
etmann and Steven Holland.
Adult chaperones were Jeri
McElligott, Debbie Camp
bell and Anne Morter.
Since the group
cannot possibly work at
the Downtown Chapel as
often as they would like,
the group decided to hold
a coffee cup drive. The
Chapel has an ongoing
need for sturdy coffee cups
as they lose a fair number
to breakage and guest who
take their hot drink to go.
The group would welcome
donations o f used coffee
mugs w hich they would do
nate to the facility. Anyone
wishing to clean out their
cupboard should contact a
youth group member or one
of the adult leaders.
