Ripples of Hope Ministry Mission:
Ripples of Hope will be a beacon that shines a bright light on the true meaning of living out the Gospel by being the hands and feet of Christ
Ripples of Hope Ministry Vision:
Ripples of Hope is engaged, passionate parishioners striving to make a difference in the life of others that started November 2014
Ripples of Hope was founded by a group of parishioners after reading the book "Fields of the Fatherless" by Tom Davis. We are now following the call of the Gospel of spreading God's love and being Christ to others through physical and spiritual nourishment to those in need, assisting others along their life's journey to lessen their hardships and struggles, and bring joy, smiles and hope to others.
Ripples of Hope: Our Story
In the fall of 2014, a group of parishioners met together to read and discuss the book, "Fields of the Fatherless, by Tom Davis. During Biblical times, God instructed His people to always leave a portion of their crops for those in need. Today, God's heart continues to beat for the poor, the widows, and the fatherless. The author encouraged us to move beyond words and become Christ to those in need. As a group, we are reaching out to others in the parish who would be interested in joining our mission which is: to be Christ to others through our actions of love and giving of ourselves.
