Each Creative Kid's Shoebox is filled with arts and crafts materials for hours of fun for a boy or a girl. These boxes are distributed by our Social Services Office to families that have young children. A wonderful new ministry by the Ladies of Charity.

Holy Redeemer Ladies of Charity work diligently to perform charitable and spiritual works of mercy according to the national directives, and in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, offering personal service to those in need.
Our motto is "to serve, rather than to be served, in humility, simplicity, and charity." As part of LCUSA, our headquarters is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A very special focus for us is visiting the homebound and bringing Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist to all who cannot attend Mass. We pray with them on a regular asis, especially in the Holy Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet...as well as, leading these devotions before daily Mass.
Our ministry works to provide essential items to those in need through our Parish Social Services Ministry. This is a priority several times a year through various projects.
We look forward to enriching our current projects and engaging in future activites, such as possibly creating a Junior Ladies of Charity for your girls in 6th through 12th grade.
We look forward to doing more for the homebound and their caregivers, as well as for our local homeless.
New members and new ideas are always welcome. So please bring your talents and your loving spirit and join us by calling Vickie at 724-714-2216. You do not have to participate in everything, just do what you can with great love. If you are homebound and wish to have a member of the Ladies of Charity visit you, please call Vickie or the Parish Office at 724-758-4411, extention 110.
Ladies of Charity is a spiritual, service organization - not a fundraising organization. But donations from parishioners helps us accomplish our goals to give loving service to those in need.
