St Titus Parish is involved in many different kinds of outreach efforts in our community through a variety of programs throughout the year.
The goals of our Outreach programs are,
Our programs range from food drives to benefit the local food pantry at Catholic Social Services, collection of school supplies for Montgomery County Office of Children and Youth, personal care items for retired sisters, clothing drives to benefit St John's Hospice in Philadelphia, Thanksgiving Meal Drive and our Giving Tree at Christmas. We also help provide frozen casseroles each month to St. John's Hospice (casserole pans, lids and selected recipes are located in the vestibule- return casseroles on weekends). Outreach maintains as database of parishioners who have offered to provide service such as rides to church and doctor's appointments, visits and calls to the housebound, shopping and light housekeeping to other parishioners in need. Meetings only held if needed.
St. Titus Parish has been making casseroles for St. John’s Hospice in Center City Philadelphia for over 35 years. The casseroles are the “Main Course” of a complete, hot meal that is served to hundreds of God’s poor and homeless who come to St. John’s for their daily bread. Please do not feel restricted to the recipes which can be found on the recipe sheets near the casserole pan in the vestibule. Your favorite recipe is most welcome! So are store bought casseroles such as Stouffers or Oncor.
St. John’s provides us with pans and lids for your dishes. If you provide your own, please use a standard “half tray”. Each casserole serves 6-8 men. Each month, St. John’s picks up the dishes from our freezer.
Here are some useful hints:
· Please bring your casseroles frozen to church and put them in the freezer located in the vestibule of the Social Hall. If the door to the Social Hall is locked, please leave the casserole with a sacristan or maintenance.
· Prepare your recipe so that it can be eaten with a plastic “spork” (a combination spoon and fork).
· Please mark the lid with the main ingredients and date you prepared your casserole.
Keep those casseroles coming!
