Mercy Ministries

Mercy Ministries

Jesus entrusted his followers the responsibility of caring for others. One way that Catholics fulfill this responsibility is by performing the Works of Mercy.

Mercy is one of the fruits of charity, which enables us to show love and compassion to those who are suffering in mind, body, heart or soul.

The Works of Mercy are divided into two categories:

  • The Corporal Works of Mercy (dealing with the body) and
  • The Spiritual Works of Mercy (dealing with the mind, heart, and soul).

Corporal Works of Mercy

“We provide food and household grocery items to over 1,000 families each month. Many of the families coming to us never had to ask for assistance before, but are being forced to now because of unexpected job losses. As we are able, we also share items which have been donated to us with other small agencies in the area. Above all that we do to help provide for the physical needs of our clients, we strive to make it abundantly clear that we are there to show God’s love and concern for them. Each morning, the volunteers and clients begin the day with prayer. Reading material and pictures in the waiting area make it evident that we are a Christian organization. We don’t discriminate against anyone based on their religious beliefs, but we hope that they will be clear about ours.”

Be Concerned — The People’s Pantry — is the largest free food program in Northern Kentucky. In 2020, it served 6,746 people in 2,918 distinct households, both records. We maintain our traditional reliance on volunteers, who enable our programs to run at a third of the cost if we were paid staff only.  We retain the choice model that Sr. Donna Kinney started more than a half century ago, with volunteers and staff alike upholding the mantra that remains today –  just as important as what we give our shoppers is how we give it: with a smile, a hug, an encouraging word.

“At Brighton Center, we believe deeply in the potential of people and that everyone deserves the best quality of life possible. Our Community of Support is comprehensive, holistic, and ready to be your partner in achieving self-sufficiency.”

“We serve all people in our Diocese who lack basic human needs, including physical, spiritual, or emotional, regardless of their religious beliefs. Using a unique holistic approach, we support and empower our clients to achieve self-sufficiency by providing guidance, tools, and life-skills. We also serve our volunteers, supporters, and partner agencies / ministries by providing the means for them to serve and assist their neighbors in need through our programs or referrals.”

“Since 2012 GO Pantry has been feeding local kids in need. There are kids in every school who rely on the Free & Reduced Lunch Program for meals during the school year. When school is out, many children lose their primary food source.”

“We are a community of believers and an integral aspect of that belief is to share in the corporal works of mercy that the Church has outlined for us.”

“Our primary focus is to provide nutritious meals to those in need. Hunger is certainly an issue with the poor and homeless, a further cause of suffering, we believe, comes from the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom. We do our best to combat these by treating everyone entering Henry Hosea House as if they were dining in a fine restaurant, meeting with friends, and building community.”

“Our goal is to help men, their families and their parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.”

“The Mary Rose Mission is a Catholic organization comprised mostly of volunteers providing spiritual, emotional, and material assistance to people in need. Our motto “To Love as God Loves” is carried out by our loving service to those who seek our aid.”

“Through our distribution center, we provide resources to partner agencies who directly serve the community. Our collaborative approach allows our partners to save time and money obtaining these resources. This helps them focus on their mission of serving others.”

“We deliver meals to seniors who might otherwise go hungry. Each of our 50 meal options—prepared in our own restaurant-grade kitchen—is tasty and nutritious. Many of our seniors receive therapeutic meals to help them manage a health issue, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.”

“Since 1974, Parish Kitchen has served a free lunch every day in Covington to anyone who is hungry. What started at Mother of God Church, soon moved to the corner of Pike and Russell, where we served every day for many years. We welcome anyone who enters our doors between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. for a delicious, wholesome meal and a respite from the elements. We treat everyone with Dignity, Respect, Affection, Attention and Hospitality, our guiding principles.”

“The ministries of the Rose Garden Mission are: a full Pregnancy Care Center, helping Moms make good choices in their pregnancies and assisting them with material needs for them and their babies; a no-questions-asked Food Pantry where families may receive food every day the Mission’s open; a free primary care clinic called the Rose Garden Center for Hope & Healing; and a free Dental Clinic.”


“The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Council of Northern KY is a network of friends, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need. The most important part of our mission is to provide hope to those in need. One can survive without material goods, but when you have lost hope that tomorrow will be better than today, you have lost everything.”

Feed the Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty

There are many people locally and globally who go without food and do not have access to clean water. We can support the efforts of those working towards greater accessibility of these essential resources.

Shelter the Homeless

There are many circumstances that could lead to someone becoming a person without a home.  Christ encourages us to go out and meet those without homes, affirming their worth and helping them seek a resolution to the challenges they face.

“The CARE Closet is a truly unique and special experience. We are the first not for profit kids clothing closet in Kentucky that allows kids to “shop.” We operate at no cost to the families. The CARE Closet’s mission is about dignity. The kids absolutely light up with huge smiles when they come to “shop.” For many this is the first time they have actually been able to shop for their own clothes. We collaborate with schools but are independent from the family resource coordinators. The children “shop” for items they need, including tops, bottoms, underwear, socks, shoes, coats, books and personal hygiene. We support families that are living below poverty, homeless and transient. Not only are the kids getting clean clothes, they gain hope, self-esteem and feel loved.”

St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky operates four thrift stores/donation centers throughout our community. Your purchases of new and gently used clothing, furniture, housewares and appliances enable us to aid and support to our neighbors in need.

Clothe the Naked

Donate gently used or new clothing to organizations that have the ability to provide support and services for those in need. Do research and find organizations that put people in need first, rather than profit.

Visit the Sick

Those who are sick are often forgotten or avoided.  In spite of their illness, these individuals still have much to offer to those who take the time to visit and comfort them.

We strive to create a more just and merciful criminal justice system that upholds the dignity of every human person and advances restorative justice.

Visit the Imprisoned

People in prison are still people, made in the image and likeness of God.  No matter what someone has done, they deserve the opportunity to hear the Word of God and find the Truth of the message of Christ.

Bury the Dead, Pray for the Living and the Dead

Funerals give us the opportunity to grieve and show others support during difficult times.  Through our prayers and actions during these times we show our respect for life, which is always a gift from God, and comfort to those who mourn.

Bear Wrongs Patiently

Do not be bitter about wrongs done against you.  Place your hope in God so that you can endure the troubles of this world and face them with a compassionate spirit.

Forgive all Injuries

Forgiving others is difficult at times because we do not have God’s limitless mercy and compassion.  But Jesus teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives, relying on him to help us show others the mercy of God.
