Community Outreach
Adopt an Angel Project (November/December)
At Christmas time, families in need request help on behalf of their children. The Faith Formation Office conducts interviews to determine actual need. Then parishioners adopt each "angel" and shop for at least two NEW items of clothing and two NEW toys. For those who have little time to shop, we also accept gift certificates, SCRIP, and checks made out to St. Monica Church. Contact Office of Faith Formation 214-357-8549.
Austin Street Centre
Once a month, this ministry prepares and serves a meal to the homeless of Dallas. A minimal time commitment is needed as volunteers can either prepare/purchase food items. Volunteers also have the option to serve our meal offering with other parishioners. Click here for more detailed information on the Austin Street Centre.
Back-to-School Collection (July/August)
Donations of basic items - paper, pencils, erasers, crayons and more - help needy parish families send their children back to school with the requisite supplies. Contact Office of Faith Formation 214-357-8549.
Bread Ministry
This Ministry collects bread, rolls and pastries from Tom Thumb (Northwest Hwy and North Park) and distributes it to areas of need in the community (Genesis Center, North Dallas Shared Ministries, Sisters of Mercy). Contact John Shank 972-774-1725.
Cans & Gift Certificates Collection (November)
This annual collection helps provide Thanksgiving food baskets for parish families experiencing financial hardship. We have little storage for frozen food, so gift certificates are preferred to actual turkeys. Contact Office of Faith Formation 214-357-8549.
