The volunteers of Agape Street Ministry walk the streets of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside where they pray with women. They distribute small candy bags, rosaries, prayer cards, gift bags, and other essentials (depending on the season) to show love and support and give women hope for the future. Volunteers also help put women in touch with Sancta Maria House, a healing and recovery home for women overcoming addiction.
We are a collection of Catholic lay people who adhere to the doctrines of the Catholic faith.
