2nd Annual Ministries of Mercy Celebration of Life

Catholic Charities Diocese of St. Petersburg invites you to join us 6:00 pm on Saturday, November 5, 2022, as we celebrate our Second Annual Ministries of Mercy Celebration of Life, benefiting Catholic Charities Ministries of Mercy (Foundations of Life, Friends in Need and Shelters of Hope).
