outreach
Saint Mary's seeks to serve by supporting the work of local and global nonprofits who are most in touch with the needs and desires of the populations whom they serve. Our baptismal vows ask us to respect the dignity and worth of all human beings. We aim to do that not just abstractly but concretely through multigenerational service projects throughout the year.​
​
Most recently, Saint Mary’s has donated and volunteered with Newton Food Pantry, Rise Against Hunger, and common cathedral. The rector’s discretionary fund also offers one-time assistance to individuals and households in need.

Rise Against Hunger
Every fall, Saint Mary's parishioners and neighbors come together to pack meals for Rise Against Hunger, an organization growing a global movement to end hunger. Volunteers ages 5 and up can participate and is one of our most popular service opportunities! To learn more about the Rise Against Hunger movement, visit their website.
Newton Food Pantry
Saint Mary's frequently partners with Newton Food Pantry and collects donations from various events. Learn more about Newton Food Pantry at their website.
common cathedral
Twice a year, Saint Mary's packs meals and then travels to downtown Boston to worship with common cathedral, an ecumenical church community dedicated to meeting the needs of the homeless in Boston. Learn more at their website.
Clothing and Diaper Drives
Saint Mary's hosts multiple clothing and diaper drives throughout the year. Donated clothing goes to various local shelters, and diapers have gone to Newton Neighbors. Drives are a very easy and approachable way to start service!
