Outreach

On the 20th of every month, Incarnate Word volunteers serve a meal to the homeless and hungry at Sts. Peter and Paul Church. Volunteers can donate food and/or prepare and serve the meals in the parish kitchen and dining room located in the Meals Hall of Sts. Peter & Paul Parish at 816 Allen Ave. St. Louis, MO 63104.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in St. Louis is a non-profit organization providing personal assistance with furniture, food, clothing, rent, utilities, transportation and companionship to people facing economic, emotional or spiritual crisis. An essential part of the St. Vincent de Paul's work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served.

St. Vincent de Paul also sponsors a food collection called Feeding our Neighbors Food Drive the third Sunday of every month. Donated nonperishable items can be left in the metal bins by the back door.

Our Homebound Ministry serves to bring 'God's love made visible' to the elderly and homebound in our community.  Volunteers will provide an extension of our faith-community to those who are unable to physically attend parish events.  Ministry volunteers will make phone calls or visit them in their homes or care facilities and provide a social connection and/or spiritual support.

The primary mission of these volunteers is to educate on life issues, to encourage prayerful witness, to collect donations and raise funds for local pro-life organizations, and to encourage involvement in pro-life legislation. 

The Incarnate Word Pro-Life Committee is devoted to furthering respect for all human life from conception to natural death. The Bishop's Pastoral Plan states that it is the responsibility of all Christians to work to end the atrocities of abortion and euthanasia. We invite you to become an active member of our Incarnate Word Pro-Life Committee and welcome your suggestions and support. We thank all members of the Incarnate Word Parish for their support of the mission of our organization.

The funeral luncheon is a wonderful service to family and friends grieving the loss of a loved one. It provides a beautiful, loving environment for sharing pictures and memories while enjoying a delicious meal with homemade desserts.
When a family requests a luncheon after a funeral in the church at Incarnate Word, members of the Funeral Luncheon Committee volunteer to help host this event in one of two ways:

• Multiple volunteers are needed for 2 hours or less on the day of the luncheon to help with setting up the room in the lower church, arranging the food on serving platters and placing on buffet table, greeting guests, refilling food and drinks, or cleaning up afterward. 
• Many volunteers are also needed to bake a dessert to be served at the luncheon. A dessert of your choice is prepared and dropped off at the parish office the day before the luncheon, or in the lower church hall on the morning of the luncheon.

Volunteers receive an email approximately one week prior to the funeral luncheon with specific information about serving and baking help needed. If you are available, then click on the sign-up form in the email. If you are not available, no problem, you will be on the list for each funeral luncheon and you are just asked to serve whenever it is convenient for your schedule.
