Examples of Outreach Activities

Offering masses and prayers for the intentions of our parishoners.

Remembering Shut-Ins and those in Nursing Homes at Easter and Christmas with cards and/or token gifts. 

Distributing of Thanksgiving Baskets that have been provided by the Jamestown Rotary Club to those in need. The Rotary Club picks up the tab for these baskets and our food pantry may supplement these baskets when necessary. We are mostly just the facilitators of handing them out. 

During Advent we ask parishioners to donate gift cards to our Giving Tree. These cards are then passed out to those in need to provide a Happy Christmas for their families. 

Outreach also organizes projects during Lent and May to benefit off Island service organizations.  

Food Pantry

Family Ministry

About

The Family Ministry's mission is to draw children, moms and dads of our parish to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of Catholic Faith community.  The ministry encompasses all of the interests and areas of parish family participation, i.e., religious formation classes, altar servers, music, sports, CYO and prayer sharing.  The focus is to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of families. 

A continuous Family Ministry needs strong, committed adult leaders.  This is an area where your involvement can make a big difference.  We encourage and welcome volunteers to work with our moms, dads, and children in many different capacities.

Pro-Life Groups

About Threads of Love

  Threads of Love is a ministry aimed at healing and binding together the hearts of parents at a time of uncertainty about their baby’s health or when they lose an infant.  

 Its mission is to show parents the love of Christ at a time when their pain is difficult to endure.  A gift packet containing a handmade gown and receiving blanket, knitted cap, small doll and prayer card is given to the parents.   

This group also makes internment gowns for infants. The goal is not to clothe babies but to use these clothes as an instrument for reaching parents at a time in their lives when they need reassurance that God is with them and that He is always faithful.   

This special ministry was started in our Parish by Therese Poisson in 1996 and remains the only chapter in New England.   

We currently serve the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Women & Infants’ Hospital in Providence and Metro West Medical Center in Framingham, Ma.   

We welcome new members who can contribute their talents to this worthy mission. Please contact Therese Poisson at (401) 423-0872
