Serving God with Joy and Pride

✦ A Simple Beginning

Claire didn’t plan to become involved. She started by helping once at a parish event, and something clicked. What began as a small gesture gradually became a source of joy and deep connection.

✦ Giving and Receiving

What surprised her most wasn’t how much she gave, but how much she received. In serving others — arranging chairs, welcoming visitors, sharing coffee — she discovered new friendships and a stronger sense of purpose.

✦ Faith in Action

Claire describes service as “faith in motion.” It brought meaning to her spiritual life beyond Sunday Mass. Her faith became something lived, shared, and renewed through concrete acts.

✦ An Invitation for All

Her story is not unique. Many others have found similar joy in serving. Whether you have time every week or just occasionally, the door is open — and the joy of giving awaits on the other side.
