Christmas will be here before you know it! Please keep sailors at sea in mind when you are out and about doing shopping or making holiday goodies.
The Stella Maris Seafarers Center in the Diocese of Lake Charles is accepting donations of delicious treats or a variety of gift cards to share with sailors who pass through the Port of Lake Charles during the holiday season.
Stella Maris (Latin for Star of the Sea) is the Catholic ministry to “people of the sea.” In addition to meeting spiritual needs of each ship crew — such as Mass, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, and even Funeral Rites — the Seafarers Center also works to provide counseling, medical assistance, ensure a safe work environment, just contracts, and communication with loved ones.
See flyer for more details! Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
