EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless photograph by Marion Post Wolcott, we are transported to a warm summer day in 1940 Kentucky, where the spirit of community and charity thrives. At St. Thomas Church near Bardstown, dedicated parishioners come together to prepare food for a benefit picnic supper. The image showcases a group of unidentified women working diligently outside the church's exterior, their aprons tied securely around their waists as they cook up a storm. Their faces radiate determination and camaraderie as they chop vegetables and stir pots filled with delicious aromas that fill the air. This snapshot from mid-20th century America captures not only the essence of Southern hospitality but also highlights the importance of giving back to those in need. The event serves as an opportunity for locals to gather under one roof, sharing laughter and stories while raising funds for charitable causes close to their hearts. Marion Post Wolcott's lens beautifully immortalizes this moment frozen in time - a testament to the power of faith and community coming together for a greater purpose. As we gaze upon this scene today, it reminds us that acts of kindness have always been at the core of our society's fabric.
