St. Innocent's Charities
by St. Innocent's Parish Council
"Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will
sing praises
to my God while I have being. Happy is he…whose hope is in the Lord his God…who
gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the
eyes of
the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down…he upholds the widows and the
fatherless… The Lord will reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise
the Lord!"
--Psalm 146
We would like to introduce you to two of the charities that St. Innocent's
supports (You can too!)
Family Missions International
Family Missions International is an outreach to the people of the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. David and Mitzu Grubbs (and their daughter, Natalie), members of our parish, travel twice a year to Mindoro to distribute school supplies to children and assist the people of Mindoro as possible.

Project Mexico is an outreach which involves Orthodox young
people in the
alleviation of suffering by building homes for Mexico's poor. Thousands of teens
and young adults from all jurisdictions across the United States and Europe have
participated.
Project Mexico also includes St. Innocent Orphanage and
Mission Church in Tijuana,
Mexico. This facility serves as a base for homebuilding trips and as a center
from
which evangelistic outreach can be conducted into neighboring communities.
St. Innocent Orphanage provides a home for young teenage boys who otherwise would be forced to live on the streets. This is the only facility in all of Tijuana which focuses on orphaned and abused teenage boys.
