The Friends of The Ministries worship in the community of St. Francis of Assisi parish, Albany, New York, at the South End worship site, Saturdays at 4:00 pm and Sundays at 10:00 am, and daily in our homes. We support the Outreach, Peace & Justice, and Liturgy ministries of the parish with our prayer, talent, time, and treasure. Click to see a map.
The former St. John's-St. Ann's parish gave birth to The Ministries, an intentional, involved, inclusive group of friends working together in the Catholic tradition to provide volunteers and support for outreach activities in the South End of Albany, including the collection and distribution of furniture, clothing, food and other personal items to people in need. We meet, pray, and worship together often to promote God's Reign, and to support and sustain our labors. We focus on prayer, peace, justice, and providing service to the community. All are welcome.
