The Missionary Oblates Are Bringing Hope and Compassion to the Hungry

In bustling cities around the world, like Houston, Texas, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate’s youth groups are a beacon of hope for the hungry. Picture a young mother huddled under a highway overpass, clutching her child to her chest, shivering in the cold. They haven’t eaten in days. In their moment of despair, the compassionate volunteers from the Missionary Oblates’ youth group arrive, offering more than just a meal—they bring warmth and human connection.

Our youth group are living out the Gospel by serving the hungry with love and compassion. Every smile, every word of encouragement, every shared prayer is a lifeline to those who feel forgotten. These young heroes are bringing light to the darkest corners of our society.

Answering the Call to Feed the Hungry

Jesus calls us to care for the least among us. Hunger is more than a lack of food—it is a crisis that strips individuals of hope and opportunity. Without intervention, they face:
