Casseroles for Homeless
Knights and Dames prepare casseroles to take to the homeless.
Lourdes Pilgrimage
Order of Malta Members attend and care for the Malades while in Lourdes. It is our expression as a lay religious Order to work, pray, and offer comfort to those who are suffering.
Pregnancy Support
Missouri Area members serve in the area of pregnancy support in many capacities. Several Knights and Dames serve on the board of Our Lady’s Inn, a maternity home for homeless pregnant women and their children. Members and Auxiliary also pray in front of the Planned Parenthood building.
Prison Ministry
Local members are involved in a variety of Prison Ministry-related activities. Knights and Dames established a committee to work with the Let’s Start Prison Ministry, providing support for women currently incarcerated and or released from prison. Members, joined by the criminal justice system, provide basic needs to men incarcerated or recently release from prison. They also serve on the board of St. Patrick Center, a center that provides job training for those released from prison or homeless.
Rosary
Members join together for the recitation of the Rosary once a month.
