Social Concerns & Social Ministries

The collection of nonperishable food and personal items is taken up on the 4th weekend of each month in support of Caritas of Waco..

During the period January 1 2009 to January 31 2011 St. Mary’s Lunch Program has provided 16,300+ meals to our less than fortunate brothers and sisters. This does not include 2 joint efforts with Columbus Avenue Baptist Church at Christmas time that included Turkey, Ham, Dressing and all the trimmings. God Bless all of you who have provided donations in whatever form to us.

For those of you reading this who have not participated with us yet, what are you waiting for? This is “Heart Medicine” no earthly doctor could ever provide for you. It is an excellent  “Warm-Fuzzy.” Among the donations we gladly accept are your prayers for our clients and our staff.

All other donations of food (please call the church office for specifics) or money help us follow the scripture “Whatsoever you do for these least brothers of mine, you also do for me.”

Thank you again and may God Bless you. St. Mary’s Lunch Program

The Office of Mission and Mission Education administers the Missionary Cooperation Plan (MCP). This program supports missionary dioceses, religious congregations and lay mission groups by assigning them to parishes so they may make an appeal at weekend Masses in the name of their organization. This outreach mission program, administered on behalf of Bishop Joe Vasquez is an integral part of mission awareness, animation and cooperation efforts.
