Volunteers unload food boxes from the Food Bank truck when it arrives, then help load food boxes into the vehicles of families as they come to pick up their groceries. Volunteers may help one or more Fridays as they are able. For questions or to offer your help, call the parish office at 474-9032 and ask for Ann, or email [email protected]
For information on how to become an Associate of the Sisters of St. Joseph (men or women), please contact Patty Walter at 374-9536 or [email protected]. We generally meet once a month on the first Monday at Sacred Heart Cathedral. The Associates of St. Joseph make an annual commitment to lead lives that strive to work for justice, reach out to those in need, and to build relationships in the spirit of hospitality and simplicity. We have been an active group in Fairbanks since 1987.
Landings is a reconciliation ministry of the Paulist Fathers. It's a program that
welcomes and invites Catholic parishes to reach out to Catholics who have been away
from the Church or who struggle in their relationship with God and the Church.
In a welcoming and non-judgmental way, a small group of active lay Catholics join
with returning or inactive Catholics to share their spiritual journeys and explore
their Catholic faith by opening their hearts to those who have been away.
Landings provides a safe harbor or a "landing" place for returning Catholics to
explore your faith and future with the church. If there is interest, we offer a Landings session during Advent and Lent, and meet on Saturday nights. We encourage our parish to reach out and extend an invitation to non-practicing Catholics in our families and communities.
