Grace Mission
Grace Mission
Bishop Howard quoted Pope Francis in the Fall 2015 Diocesan Magazine which summarizes the diocesan mission:
“Christ performed the greatest service of all, reaching out to you and me from the cross in an embrace in love, so you and I are to respond to that love in service.”
Each day, as one of the Outreach Missions of the Diocese of Florida, we are responding to the love of Christ by sharing that love to others at Grace Mission. In particular, we are caring for the “least of these” in our midst – the poor, weak, vulnerable, elderly, homeless, addicts and children. As a worshipping community and grounded in the Gospel – Jesus reminds us, “There is no greater love than laying down one’s life for another.” In love, every day, we lay our lives down to help those that are truly broken, often forgotten, unloved, and misunderstood – people in the margins of society. Christ gave us this beautiful commission in Matthew 25 and in every possible way Grace Mission lives into the Great Commission.
Numerous volunteer opportunities exist ranging from assisting in the children’s program to serving meals or assisting in the various other ministries at Grace Mission. Together we are healing a hurting world!
