"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace." - 1 Peter 4:10

Jesus asks each of us to love and serve one another.  The St. Mary's Crescent Youth Ministry program wants to be an example of these words in action.  We are strongly encouraging all youth to volunteer for several community service events throughout the school year.  Below are a list of upcoming opportunities.  If you and your children are interested please contact Chris Fox at smcym@nycap.rr.com or by calling 631-645-4797 or Mary Anne Cureau at smcff@nycap.rr.com or by calling the faith formation office.

Sports Are For Everyone (S.A.F.E)

SAFE provides opportunities for disabled children to engage and compete in recreational sports such as golf, fishing, soccer, basketball, and baseball. Their mission is to teach children and young adults the positive value of athletics and teamwork with an attitude of encouragement. This organization gives kids a chance to socialize, compete, and exercise both their motor and life skills. The program is currently considering a self-defense program and kids learning baseball with the Valley Cats. Every month, SAFE nominates a Kid-of-the-Month and writes a short blurb on the laurels of their choice  

SAFE needs volunteers to come assist with the sporting events in the community.
