St. Mary’s shares a 20 year covenant with St.Paul's Church in Wilmington. Outreach partners with St. Paul’s through programs like the Thanksgiving Food Drive, Adopt a Family and our newest, Easter Food Baskets. These programs support families in need from St. Paul’s parish and the surrounding neighborhood. 

Outreach supports Jesus House in Wilmington in a similar way. Jesus House provides programs and services to strengthen faith and provide support to families waiting for permanent housing. 

Outreach’s newest partnership is with Warner Elementary School in Wilmington. Working in conjunction with the dedicated staff at Warner, St. Mary’s Outreach will collect donations from parishioners on a monthly basis to fill the St. Mary’s ‘Closet’ inside the school. Items will range from non-perishable foods to school supplies and paper products. 

All of these Outreach programs are wonderful ways to support the community. Please look for monthly requests on the SMA web page and in the church bulletin. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
