Outreach

GriefShare is a nationwide biblical support group that is focused on helping people who are dealing with a loved one’s death. Each DVD session features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories, followed by small group discussion about the topics presented (with workbook support).

At each GriefShare session you will find encouragement and help in grieving the death of your loved one. No matter the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and how to cope with the normal emotions that come when grieving a death. You will learn valuable information on facing life situations, and you’ll gain renewed hope for the future. These sessions are open to anyone regardless of whether your experience is recent or not so recent. The group is led by individuals who have personally experienced grief due to a loved one’s death. Each leader is trained in facilitating a GriefShare support group.

Our GriefShare group will meet every Wednesday in Madonna Hall, room #3 

We hope you will consider joining us. Please remember your loss is shared by others in this church and what you are experiencing is sometimes easier to bear knowing others are listening and do care. May God’s love continue to comfort and strengthen you.

BIENVENIDO!   MABUHAY!   ALOHA!   WILLKOMMEN!

The Ladies of St. Andrew was established to encourage women of the parish to perform charitable works for the community to provide an opportunity to meet for spiritual and social activities. We support Our Lord’s work in the parish and the faith community with willing hands and loving hearts through our programs and fundraisers.

During the past 5 years, we have provided over $85,000 in support to local and worldwide missions, such as St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank, Catholic Community Services Foster Program and Domestic Violence Center (Forgach House), Life Teen, St. Joseph Youth Camp, Good Neighbor Alliance, Social Concerns Committee, Wings of Angels, Peaches Pantry, Rosary Ministry, Joan Martin Haiti Project, Nepal Mission, Huachuca City Fire Department and the Sierra Vista/Fry Fire Departments Christmas Drives, Care Net, Saint Andrew’s Library, restoration projects at Saint Patrick Church, and many other special charity and parish needs.

We coordinate special events such as the annual Bazaar, Saint Nicholas Fair, and “Baby Shower for Baby Jesus,” which provide needed items for Care Net.

We know that many of you volunteer year after year, and we are blessed for the work you do. Together we have done so much, but we need “a few new good women” to join us. We are asking for volunteers in all areas. Will you be a part of this blessed tradition? Come join us!

St. Paul Street Evangelists are dedicated to taking our Catholic Faith to the streets.  We also pray a public rosary every month, usually on a Saturday morning in front of Chili's. 

We do this in a non-confrontational way, allowing the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of those who witness our public Catholic presence. St. Paul Street Evangelization provides an avenue for you to share the Person of Jesus Christ and the truth and beauty of the Catholic Faith with a hungry culture. 

Here is a link for more information on how to be Holy and numerous short videos on sharing the faith: Link
