Church & Society
Mission/Purpose
To provide food, counseling, friendship, clothes, prayer and peace to those we serve.
Regular Activities
Wednesday night distribution: On the 4th Wednesday of the month, 4-6 people are needed to distribute bag lunches from 6:00-7:00 pm. We distribute the bag lunches, interact with people who come to the Corner, and play or talk with the children.
Spiritual Growth/Benefits of Participating in this Ministry
To obtain a greater understanding of the poverty and suffering that exists just 5 minutes from our parish. To gain a better understanding of what Christ asked us to do when he said, "feed my flock." Help break down barriers between rich and poor, black and white and to better understand how much we are all alike vs: not alike.
Specific Requirements to Consider if Participating in this Ministry
A willingness to be open to the needs of others and to the call of Christ in your life.
Donations of children's books, socks, winter hats and gloves or mittens for adults and children, juice boxes, packaged cookies (not homemade), baby formula or diapers are appreciated. Donations may be dropped off at church any time.
