The Father McKenna Center is located on the campus of Gonzaga College High School, in the basement of St. Aloysius Church. Named after Father Horace B. McKenna, SJ, who was known as Washington’s “priest to the poor.” He was a tireless worker for the rights and dignity of people in need. Fr. McKenna used to say that his role was to “hang on to people until help came.”
OUR VISION People who struggle with poverty and homelessness will have access to the resources they need to create and sustain lives of stability, productivity, meaning and hope.
OUR VALUES We believe that all persons are made in the image and likeness of God and as such deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. We believe that people who struggle with poverty and homelessness deserve access to material, spiritual and support resources that will lead to stability and meaning in their lives. We believe that the wider community should embrace and support people who struggle with poverty and homelessness to ensure access to the resources necessary to reduce or eliminate these conditions.

636 COMPREHENSIVE ESTATE PLANNING $2,000.00 Lincoln Park Associates principal Don Marlais, parent to Madden '23 and Jackson '24 , is offering comprehensive estate planning session to the winning bidder. Estate planning is not something people really want to think about, but it makes things much easier for loved ones down the road. While most people are familiar with wills, most people have moved away from using them to transfer their assets to descendants because of complications and cost. A comprehensive estate plan typically involves the creation of the following documents: Revocable Living Trust, Last Will and Testament, Certificate of Trust, Master Assignment, Durable Power of Attorney for Finance and Business Affairs, and an Advance Medical Directive. Don will explain the purpose of each of these documents, and he will review why the trust is the key document to avoiding probate, how wills are key to appointing a guardian and dealing with your personal property, and how a power of attorney and advance directive will ensure others can make decisions for you in the event you become incapacitated. Don has office space at The Yard (7th and Penn SE) or can meet with you at your home or office. Winning bidder should contact Don at don@lincolnparkassociates.com or 202-3303965. Mutually agreeable time, including evenings and weekends. Don Marlais

1231 2020 JFK CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT $25.00 The White House Historical Association's 2020 Christmas ornament honors President John F. Kennedy through his posthumous portrait which hangs in the White House today. Controversial in its unique pose of looking down as a "thinker", it was an intentional decision by the artist to show humility and courage. Jackie Kennedy commissioned this painting in 1970. With its framed shape, this ornament will surely be a standout as part of your decorating this year.
