Support our Troops

• Our Ministry to  "support the troops" began in 2005. Every 6 - 8 weeks we meet to pack care packages to deployed troops. We mail approximately 150 packages at each event. Our packages are filled with donated items received from parishioners and the community. Mailing expenses for these packages come from funds donated by church members and community supporters. For additional information and a list of suggested items contact troops@stgregoryschurch.org. We pray at each of our worship services for all our Service members and a large number of those known to us. If you would like a family member or loved one serving in our armed forces to be prayed for, please contact us at troops@stgregoryschurch.org.

Twelve Step Programs

• A number of twelve step programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous(AA), Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA), and Al-Anon meet at the church throughout the week.  Consult our calendar for the weekly schedule of meetings.
