Mission & Outreach Ministry

One of the most active of St. Mary’s Committees, the Mission and Outreach Committee extends the loving hands and hearts of St. Mary’s into the Irmo and Columbia communities, as well as to the furthest corners of the world. Locally we support Sharing God’s Love, Shepherd’s Center, Habitat for Humanity, Homeworks, and many, many other caring organizations, both with financial support and with volunteer workers.

Internationally, St. Mary’s is a sponsor of our Haynes family’s mission in Thailand, and perhaps most notably the several projects and individuals whom we support in Haiti. We also respond to international concerns and natural disasters through the Presiding Bishop’s fund for world relief and other organizations.

All of this perhaps softens the hearts of individual members, prompting us to the constant small acts of kindness which is our mandate from St. Mary herself: “Whatever He says, do it.”
