Gospel Outreach
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me" (Matthew 25:35).
Mary, Mother of the Church parish family lives as models of Christian charity in the La Crosse community through our involvement in programs that provide to those in need throughout the area. If you are interested in volunteering, you can learn more in our

Mobile Meals
Mobile Meals is a program that delivers meals within the south side of La Crosse to those in need who participate in the program. Volunteers pick up the food at Mayo hospital. Meals are delivered seven days per week, eight weeks per year.
Warming Center
On Tuesdays, MMOC volunteers at the Catholic Charities Warming Center, providing a warm, safe place to rest for the city's unsheltered population November 1st - May 1st. We provide and serve meals, as well as handling intake and morning shift duties.
Matthew 25
On Thursdays, a group gets together in the MMOC kitchen to prepare meals for those in need. Volunteers come when they can, preparing the meal in fellowship with each other. If you are interested in helping, please reach out Matthew 25.
Angel Tree
Each advent season, MMOC collaborates with Catholic Charties to collect gift cards for people in need throughout the area. These are distributed near Christmas.
