Mobile Meals
We prepare and deliver hot nutritious meals every Friday to the frail elderly in our area, thereby helping them continue to reside in their homes. Other area churches similarly commit to providing this service one day a week. The suggested donation for the food is $1.00; we do not require a donation here at St. Charles. Please note that there is often a waiting list for this service. If you wish to be considered for this program, contact the church office as soon as possible. If you or someone you know could benefit from this service, or have other needs relating to being elderly, contact the Eldercare Access Center at 405-946-3388.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
The Society is a Catholic lay organization that helps the poor and those in need - individuals and families within our Parish area. We are a person-to-person Catholic ministry that sees the face of Christ in the faces of those who are suffering. Through the generosity of our parishioners and others who support our works, the SVdP Society - St. Charles Borromeo Conference is able to offer substantial aid to the many calls received for temporary or immediate needs. We may be able to provide assistance after making a home visit and going over in greater detail their particular situation.
If you need assistance because of serious illness, loss of a job, or an unexpected crisis, please call the the SVdP Help Line at 445-0414. Be assured that all requests for assistance are handled with care and confidentiality. Our works are made possible by your donations placed in the SVdP Poor Boxes by the doors to the Church - Thank you for your financial support of SVdP!
