Outreach
“We are called to be light for the kingdom, we are called to love tenderly, and we are called to serve one another . . .”
If you are in need, please call 724-594-5297 or email mos4outreach@gmail.com
This is the call of Mother of Sorrows Outreach – to stand by one another with deep compassion – all of us joining together to support those in need, those who are hungry, those who are lonely, those who are ill, and those who have served our country.
