We show mercy by sharing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy with those in need. Our motivation comes from our personal experience of being healed by God’s mercy. Periodically throughout the year, parishioners of all ages come together for a Mercy Mission. Here are a few places we have served in the past:

• Our local neighborhood

• Catholic Charities

• St. Joseph Diner

• Local Nursing Homes

• Second Harvest

• Community of Jesus Crucified

• Desormeaux Foundation

• Pro-Life March
