Service: Put your
faith into action
At Iskali, service is more than an activity — it’s a way of living our faith in community.
Each month, we come together to support those most in need through Service
Days that combine prayer, outreach, and reflection. From partnering with local
organizations to serving within our parishes, every moment is an opportunity to
give back and grow together.
Rooted in the example of St. Teresa of Calcutta, we believe that small acts of
love can create lasting impact.
What to expect
Service Days are designed to nurture both
action and reflection:
- Begin with Mass or prayer
- Participate in a community service activity
- Share a meal and reflect together
These experiences are open to everyone —
young adults, families, and parish communities.
Why it matters
We serve because we have first received.
Through service, we:
- Live out our faith in tangible ways
- Build meaningful relationships
- Become a source of hope for others
