 especially those who are poor, with Jesus as their model.

DIAPER DRIVE
We run a diaper drive in the spring of each year.

The Lunches for the Hungry/Red Door programs provides food for those in need. Volunteers assemble bags of requested snacks several times a month.

Join with other Ladies of Charity once a month to create blankets for sick children. No sewing skills needed! This group meets on the third Monday of the month in the Reardon room at St John Capistran.

SING-ALONGS
Ladies of Charity, along with family and friends, go to local nursing homes to serenade the residents.

THANKSGIVING PIE COLLECTION
The week before Thanksgiving we invite parishioners to bake or donate store bought pies for those in need.

THOSE WE HAVE HELPED
We have helped individual families in need, the Saint Winifred Food Pantry, the Ladies of Charity of St. Mary of the Mount - Red Door lunches, the Holy Spirit Mission in the Dominican Republic with Father Don McEachin, FOR Community Center in McKees Rocks, Operation Safety Net in downtown Pittsburgh, the Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh, Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center in downtown Pittsburgh and many other charities.

We appreciate the continued support of our parish community so that we can serve, rather than be served, in humility, simplicity and charity.
