 OPPORTUNITIES TO CARE FOR THOSE IN NEED WHILE SHARING THE LOVE OF JESUS

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE MINISTRIES  

   Our dedicated volunteers minister primarily at Pitches Detention Center in Castaic. There they lead a bible study using the Catholic program Finding Your Way In Jail. The parish community supports the ministry through Bible Drives which fund the purchase of study materials and bibles. The parish also counts on this ministry to keep us informed on issues related to Restorative Justice.                                                                                                  Contact Deacon Gabriel deacongabriel@saintkateriparish-scv.org.

FRIENDS OF FAMILY PROMISE

     As partners with Family Promise of SCV we join them in ministering to hard working families who otherwise would be homeless. Each month, Friends Of Family Promise volunteers have the option of pitching in to buy grocery and pantry items needed for a specific week by the families staying at the Family Promise Transitional House. Volunteers also have the opportunity to provide a portion of a ready-to-eat dinner on the Wednesday evening of that same week. Special Thanksgiving and Christmas themed meals will take care of our November and December dinner commitment.

Go FISH (Go Forward In Serving Him) 
     This ministry provides meals and lunches on a regular basis for the homeless who are staying at Bridge-To-Home, the local men and women's shelter. Volunteers are invited to provide a portion of an evening meal on a specific date and drop-it off at the shelter. Those volunteers who wish to do so, can join the experienced Go FISH leadership team in serving the meal and visiting with the guests in the dining hall. The ministry team keeps the parish community informed about unexpected needs at the shelter that we can address.

SAINT KATERI CLIPPERS, FOOT CARE FOR THE HOMELESS  
   Kateri Clippers' volunteers are trained to gently wash and care for the tired feet of the homeless. The ministry primarily serves at the Bridge-To-Home Shelter in Santa Clarita once-a-month. Packages of men's and women's white sox and footcare tools are always appreciated as donations.

 SAINT KATERI'S MINI-FOOD PANTRY FOR SENIORS
 With the high prices of groceries, it can be especially difficult for a senior living on a small, fixed income to buy food. If you are a senior and find your self in this situation or, if you are concerned that a friend or neighbor is facing food insecurity, please let us know.  Thanks to donations to our Knights of Columbus Food Drives our little pantry is always stocked with non-perishable food items in hopes that we can be of help.
