SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES!

On-going

Habitat for Humanity - St. Mary participates actively each year in Habitat for Humanity.  Adult and teen volunteers are always needed.  Please contact jefferyscollier@aol.com or 330-650-2739 to find out the current needs.

St. Al's - This is an ongoing monthly service opportunity is St. Al's Food Distribution.  The teens are actively involved at the St. Al's Hunger Center in Cleveland, where they pack and distribute food on the 4th Saturday morning of each month (November and December are earlier).  Our friendship with St. Al's is a special one and the teens  realize how much they are needed and depended upon each month.  Without the work of our young people, five tons of potatoes would move ever so slowly!

FOR THE INNER CITY CHILDREN OF AKRON, THROUGH THE HAVEN OF REST MINISTRY, TEENS INVITE ALL PARISHIONERS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CANDY DRIVE (IN LATE OCTOBER AND EARLY NOVEMBER) SO THAT THEY CAN FILL CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS FOR APPROXIMATELY 500 AKRON CHILDREN.  SENIOR SERVICE LEADERSHIP ALSO COLLECTS GIFTS FOR THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS PARTY HELD AT HAVEN OF REST IN EARLY DECEMBER.  OUR TEENS “JINGLE ALL THE WAY” IN TRUE ELF FASHION BRINGING JOY AND SMILES TO THE YOUNGSTERS TO WHOM THEY MINISTER.

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE GREAT SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES.

TEENS AREN’T THE ONLY ONES WE NEED IN THIS MINISTRY!
