The Wheelchair Ministry was established at St Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in 2008. We conduct one fundraiser annually, usually in June, for the American Wheelchair Mission. This non-profit organization is dedicated to making IMMOBILE people MOBILE...
We deliver this MOBILITY into the lives of people with physical disabilities who have no means to acquire a wheelchair. The delivery of a wheelchair to a person without MOBILITY improves the quality of life for the whole family. A donation of $150 will pay for one wheelchair chair, and it is estimated that each wheelchair improves an average of ten lives. We have delivered wheelchairs to the needy in Nuevo Laredo, Guadalajara, Mexico City, VA Hospitals, Selma, Alabama, and Clergy Retirement Centers, as well as several local needy people. For more information, call (210) 496-6310.
If you wish to help provide wheelchairs to those in need with a monetary donation, you may simply place a check (payable to American Wheelchair Mission) in the collection basket the next time you come to Mass at St. Mark's.
