Outreach
We keep a steady supply of blessing bags on hand that include non-perishable food and seasonal necessities (such as socks, gloves, hats, etc.) for our houseless neighbors who come to our door. Parishioners also take these blessing bags in their vehicles to pass out to those in need. We also maintain a supply of blankets, basic first aid, and toiletries at the church. Additionally, we support a local ministry with providing meals for the houseless every month, participate in the Adopt-an-Angel Program for the St. Luke's Hospital Crittenton Children's Center at Christmas and hold periodic drives for food and needed supplies. If you are interested in helping with outreach or for more information, please contact the office.
