Outreach Programs

We believe that in giving we are blessed, and the Mission and Outreach embodies that spirit every day. We devote 10% of pledge and plate income to mission and outreach programs, as well as hands-on participation in Paris and beyond. Mission and Outreach reflect the evolving ethos of the Cathedral: flexible, grassroots, inclusive.

The Sandwich Ministry

Sandwich Ministry provides free healthy bag lunches and hot coffee on the steps of the Cathedral each Tuesday and Saturday at 12:30 p.m. This ministry nourishes volunteers and guests alike with much-needed food and fellowship. From 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. volunteers help assemble, package, and distribute bagged lunches outside the Cathedral.

“Love in a Box” (LIAB) is now “Love in a Backpack”!

The Love in a Box (LIAB) program is a cherished annual tradition bringing the joy of the holidays to children in need. For over 20 years, Mission and Outreach has worked with schools and community partners Paris-wide, coordinating the preparation and distribution of gifts to numerous charities throughout France. Now, instead of boxes, backpacks will be filled with many items, toys, and practical gifts that bring great joy to hundreds of children of all ages.
