Outreach Ministries
"For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name by having served and continuing to serve the holy ones." Hebrews 6:10
Outreach Ministries is a wonderful way to help the community as a whole. Offering your time, talent or treasure to benefit the greater Tiffin and Seneca County area shows God's love to those in need. Take a look at the various ministries our Parish
is currently involved with to see how you can get involved and make new friends!
List of Services

Funeral Luncheon CommitteeList Item 1
Here at St. Mary Parish we are very fortunate to have a Funeral Luncheon Committee. When a member passes away and the funeral is at St. Mary, our luncheon committee will offer to the family a room to use for gathering after the burial.
If the family brings the food, the committee will provide food servers, arrange tables and chairs and clean up.
If the family has the food catered, the committee will provide 2 or 3 volunteers to arrange tables and chairs and clean up as well as assist when needed.
The committee will also provide desserts, paper table service, coffee, tea or lemonade, creamer and sugar, condiments and chips. A list will be made of dishes brought in from family and friends. The committee will package leftovers for the family to take home or donate to the Sharing Kitchen.
* No alcoholic beverages are permitted.

Saint Vincent de PaulList Item 2
Volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul help some of our communities neediest citizens. Members meet with "neighbors" to determine their needs twice a month usually on Tuesdays from 1 - 3 pm. The committee meets once a month in the evening. We have several different ways for individuals to help. You could become part of the committee that plans fundraisers or help with screening for financial assistance with utilities or rent.
