Stella Maris, formerly called the Apostleship of the Sea (Apostolatus Maris), is the Church among the People of the Sea. It is the apostolic work of the Catholic Church caring for seafarers, fishers and their families. We offer pastoral care to those in need; solidarity with the oppressed; welcome and hospitality to those on the move; and spiritual sustenance to the poor, enabling seafarers and fishers to be the light of Christ for each other.As Jesus washed the feet of His disciples at the last supper to demonstrate, even at the institution of the Eucharist, that the Eucharistic community is committed to hospitality and service, this apostolic work of the Church cares for the people of the sea: for the pastoral, social, and material welfare of all seafarers and fishers regardless of colour, race or creed.

We will start taking donated items for these men and women for our "ditty bag" program. Please click the document link for a list of items needed.  Link to "Ditty Bag" Needs.
