Every Thursday from October through April, St. Mary of Vernon is a host site for the homeless of Lake County through PADS (Providing Advocacy, Dignity and Shelter). This ministry relies on many volunteers and donations in order to function efficiently. To volunteer for this ministry, please call the parish office.

 

During the summer months, volunteers make lunches for the homeless at our Parish Center kitchen.
