Loaves & FishesAs service is an expression of almsgiving – giving of our time, energy, and talents – this Lent, we wanted to highlight the Loaves & Fishes Ministry and the work they do for our city as an almsgiving opportunity at the Cathedral. We worked with our Loaves & Fishes volunteers to expand the Loaves & Fishes Ministry and created Loaves & Fishes Snack Packing, a community-oriented service opportunity for Cathedral Families.
Families are invited to take part in Loaves & Fishes Snack Packing by participating in the monthly Snack Packing events and / or by donating non-perishable snack items. If you are unable to participate in person or by contributing food times, please contact us to make a donation to support the Loaves & Fishes Ministry.
Families are also invited to participate in Loaves & Fishes Meal Preparation and Distribution in the following ways:
- Sign up to shop for food and supplies.
- Participate in monthly Meal Preparation events.
- Sign up to serve as a Loaves & Fishes van driver.
- Participate in monthly trips to Baltimore City to distribute hot meals and snack packs.

St. Vincent's Empty Bowls event raises funds and generates awareness for its mission of assisting those impacted by hunger, homelessness, and poverty. Empty Bowls is a signature fundraiser for St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore and helps to ensure that those impacted by poverty have the skills, resources, and opportunities to achieve their full potential.
