Outreach

Little Church of Blessings
The Little Church of Blessings can be found in the shady area outside the chapel by the steps on Jackson Street. The Little Church of Blessings will be always available and always unlocked, no questions asked. It is there for any and all members of our parish, neighborhood, and community who might have an emergency need - as well as to those who would like to drop items off to fill it up! Since our pantry is waterproof but not refrigerated, we ask that only non-perishable items be put into it.

We are always accepting donations! You can place in kind donations at the little church; we recommend bulk and monetary donations be dropped off in the office (donations will be distributed over a period of time.)

Food Box
Canned goods and non-perishables are collected in the Food Box located in the church vestibule. These are delivered to Helping Hand -  a non-profit, ecumenical ministry - for distribution to the needy.

Minibus Drivers
Licensed drivers who have been pre-approved by the pastor, and have a current Arkansas Driver’s License, assist by picking up residents of Good Shepherd Retirement Center for the Saturday Vigil Mass at 4:30 pm and students from World Services for the Blind on Sunday for the 10:30 A.M. Mass.

Our House Meals
Our Lady of Good Counsel is involved with the Our House Meal Ministry. On the third Thursday of each month supper is fed to 100 men, women, and children by our volunteers. Monetary donations and volunteer support are always welcome. Contact the Parish office for more information on this ministry.

Respect Life
As Catholics, we respect the holiness of all life from the moment of conception to natural death. Respect life activities include Forty Days for Life Prayer Vigil in the spring and fall, March for Life, Life Chain, and support for Abba House and local crisis pregnancy centers.
