There is a one dimensional Christmas story that is mostly celebrated - that's the story about family gatherings and mass, decorations and gifts to spread that Christmas spirit. But how about the story of those who may not be able to experience all that? Today the St. John's Cathedral Soup Kitchen hosted a Christmas lunch for the needy and the coordinators catered for 450 people. Tanisha Camal, a resident of Pen Road told us how for her and many others, this lunch is Christmas.

"Well as you can see we are here with our soup kitchen. This is the soup kitchen from St. John's Cathedral. We have been operating since 2010, and so this is our 5th Christmas dinner, the turkey dinner which is very popular."
Bishop Philip Wright, Anglican Bishop of Belize
"Thank God as a ministry it's a ministry we have been able to keep going for several years now and it was an initiative of course to get the church more into the community to try to make a difference and thanks to some very faithful ladies especially, a few men too and some very generous members and other supporters, we have been able to keep it going."
Tanisha Camal, Pen Road Area Resident
"It's a good thing the Bishop and the community did. A lot of people will eat this Christmas."
The St. John's Cathedral Soup Kitchen caters to about 300 people every Tuesday.
