Service
“I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”
-St. Teresa of Calcutta
At Oakland Catholic, we strive to be a pencil in God's hands through serving and loving His world whether that is cooking at a homeless shelter, tutoring school children or visiting those who are sick or lonely. This service to our brothers and sisters in our local communities weekly as well as annually through our national and international mission trips go far beyond simply completing a task but is truly an apostolic mission to learn from others, engage in issues, unite our actions in prayer and to consistently live for others.
"The Pittsburgh mission trip always has a way of showing me that when we look for Christ in those who we encounter, we are going to find Him and be filled. A woman named Sunshine, who we met downtown while serving food at The Red Door, asked us to pray with her. Her resilience and faith shone through our encounter with her when she said "We are homeless, but not heartless”, a reminder that our circumstances don’t define us, our hearts do. She shared her faith like a gift, reminding us that true purpose comes through Him."
