Peru: Familiy to Family
Pope John Paul II has asked every parish in the United States to adopt a mission in Latin America. We have one! Santisimo Sacramento Parish in Piura, Peru.

FAMILY TO FAMILY is a program for people in our parish (and/or St. John's) to adopt a family in an extremely poor area of Peru. We send them funds for basic needs; they send us their gratitude, love and prayers. To adopt a family, contact Judy in the parish office, 842-1481.

MISSION GROUPS: A number of groups from St. John's and Christ the King visit Peru every year. Some groups go for medical purposes, others work on education or building projects. All come home with a much greater love for God and all of His people. 


St. Vincent de Paul
The St. Vincent De Paul Society helps people who are in need of emergency assistance with food, clothing, furniture, utility bills, rent, etc. Members meet regularly in "conferences" for prayer and consultation regarding the requests for assistance. 


Feeding the Homeless

The Feeding The Homeless Program is on the fourth Sunday of each month. Parishioners cook and serve a nutritious lunch to the poor and homeless at a designated location. Signups are located in the atrium the 2nd and 3rd Sundays of the month.

Blood Drive
The Oklahoma Blood Institute visits three times a year providing an opportunity for parishioners to donate blood. 


North Highlands Project

North Highlands is a depressed area in our parish boundary. To volunteer for this ministry, please contact Leo Morrison, 842-0012.

THE SCHOOL: We give a great deal of support to the teachers who have a very difficult job. Our tutors meet one on one with children and help Them with their reading or math.

MUSTARD SEED CORPORATION is a non profit group that works in the North Highlands area to help home owners repair their homes etc.

SHILOH CAMP is a lovely camp for underprivileged kids. Some of these kids are from North Highlands. At this camp the kids can swim, ride horses, climb the ropes course and find a whole new joy in life, all in the name of Jesus. 


Door to Door Evangelization
"Go, therefore and teach all nations." Jesus asks us to reach out to others. The Evangelization Team looks for ways to invite people to our church. Most importantly the Team wants to invite inactive Catholics to join our community in worship and in our service to the poor. Anyone interested in this ministry, please call the parish office at 405-842-1481. 


Re-membering the Church Evangelization
This is a short course in Faith for people who want to return to the Church. This is set up for anytime that is convenient for the returnee. Anyone interested in this ministry, please call the parish office at 405-842-1481.
Re-Membering team members: Spinner Platt, Claudine Holman, Ben Wright and Linda Giachino. 


Elizabeth Ministry
