Walk with St. Augustine Serves!
Riverside Park (3001 Riverside Park Dr. Vero Beach)
Cancer has touched many lives in our parish family. For this reason, St. Augustine Serves will again this year form a team to participate in the American Cancer Society “Making Strides” Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. Join us as we help raise lifesaving funds that support breast cancer patients, survivors, thrivers, and caregivers through every step of their journey. There will be a St. Augustine Serves tee shirt waiting for you!
Please sign up to walk with our team:
In past years, the Making Strides Cancer Walk has provided a great opportunity for fellowship as we celebrate the cancer survivors and remember those lost near and dear to us. Let us all come together to help find new treatments and cures!
Pick the distance that is comfortable for you & bring a walking buddy! We will follow a scenic loop around Riverside Park. Be sure to bring a hat, water, and sunscreen and a smile. We will meet in the big field under our blue St. Augustine Serves banner. Join our Team here!
Not up to walking?
Walk with us in spirit and support our team with a financial contribution to the American Cancer Society. Make your donation here.

OCTOBER 25 | 9:00 AM
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Operation Christmas Child is a global project run by Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian humanitarian organization led by Franklin Graham. Since 1993, the program has encouraged individuals, families, churches, and community groups to fill shoeboxes with small gifts—such as toys, school supplies, personal care items, and notes of encouragement. These shoeboxes are collected, processed, and then distributed to children in need around the world, often in areas affected by poverty, conflict, or natural disaster. Delivered into the hands of children through local churches, every shoebox gift is an opportunity to share about our Lord Jesus Christ and God's redeeming love for them.
​
Please sign up in the Narthex and join us on Saturday, October 25 at 9 am in the Parish Hall to package 100 shoebox gifts for these precious children!
