Mission: Provide clothing to families in need.
This ministry provides clothing to families within our parish and surrounding communities. Volunteers meet Thursday mornings from 9:00 AM to noon to pick-up, sort and fold donated clothing; assess and fulfill clothing requests from Christian Connection and other outreach organizations; and assist ministry leaders as needed.
- Since the ministry’s inception in 2010, fourteen clothing give-away events have been held and over 6,600 individuals have been assisted through this ministry.
- Approximately 80% of the gently-used clothing and shoes that are distributed by Clothing Connection are donated by St. Michael parishioners.

"The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit."
