Ways to Give
Hunger Ministry at St. Mary’s
We recognize the importance of being present, particularly to our neighborhood and those who indeed are food insecure and depend on the Cathedral and other agencies for those needs.
Through our Hope and Food Ministry, individuals in need are invited to Morning Prayer in the Sisters Chapel each Saturday morning at 9 am, followed by a brown-bag breakfast. If you would like to know more, or if you have questions about you can help, contact Melissa Bridgman. You can also donate to the hunger ministry here or via Venmo @Saint-Mary-1.

Prayer for People Critically Ill or Facing Great Uncertainty
God of the present moment,
God who in Jesus stills the storm
and soothes the frantic heart;
bring hope and courage to all
who wait or work in uncertainty.
Bring hope that you will make them the equal
of whatever lies ahead.
Bring them courage to endure what cannot be avoided,
for your will is health and wholeness;
you are God, and we need you.
