We have nothing but five loaves and two fish....  
God transforms the little things.

Jesus can work miracles with five loaves and two fish. The heart of the story is that the little boy brought his meager gifts to Jesus, his five loaves and two fish, and look what mighty miracles God did with them! God wants to do the same with us; that we bring our meager gifts to God, our five loaves and two fish, our small and ordinary talents and gifts, we bring the simplicity of who we are to God, and look what mighty miracles God can do with our little lives!

The Loaves & Fish ministry is the parish’s way of bringing Jesus to our community by our contribution of nonperishable food, and basic need items to established assistance ministries within the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, and by doing so, lets God work through us. Our primary support will be our ongoing donation efforts to our sister parish San José

We ask the children to remind the adults that by bringing one or more nonperishable food items, or other basic need items, with them to church, they will become Loaves & Fish Ministers.

They will bring Jesus, through their selfless love and donations, to those less fortunate in our community. This ministry does not duplicate the successful programs of others; but rather providing the lifeblood of donated items for their fruitful and well-established aid programs.

We will provide two new barrels to receive your donations in the gathering space. We will look to include times for our children to become recognized as Loaves & Fish Ministers during the offertory.

Our Current Need

Let’s feed the multitudes as Jesus did! The Loaves & Fish Ministry will be resuming its collection of non-perishable foods for the less fortunate.

We ask that each parishioner bring one non-perishable food item per week. The non-perishable foods can be placed in the blue bins marked with the Loaves & Fish symbols.
