St. Mary's works in partnership with Belfast City Vineyard in a programme called Storehouse which seeks to serve the needs of those people who struggle to afford food for themselves and their families.
Whilst Storehouse generally operates on a referral basis, if you or someone you know is facing this kind of hardship, then please don’t hesitate to contact the Church Office.
Since February 2010 we have become a partner church with Christians Against Poverty. CAP partners with local churches across the UK to deliver top quality debt counselling services, which not only provide a sustainable solution to poverty but also transform lives, both practically and spiritually. CAP believes that the local church should be at the heart of God’s work. In practice this means that while CAP gives a professional debt counselling tool, the church has the amazing opportunity to express God's love - meeting people's practical needs by helping them with their debts, and also providing the support, care and welcome that is needed to lead those interested into a full, God-centred life.

As part of our outreach into the local community here in the estate, we offer a healing ministry in the car park of the new Enler Complex.
This happens each Saturday morning from 10.30am -12.00 midday.
