Heart ministries are distinguished from service ministries for clarity full well knowing that being a Catholic ministry implies the service is done from the Heart of Mercy in us.
All our Heart ministries are based on sitting with people, listening to them, asking questions and answering questions. This is based on Jesus' method in Luke 2:46-47. | Social events and celebrations for the neighborhood. A presence at the Center to receive those needing just to come and feel safe and cared about.
