Our Journey began in the mid 1980’s with a divinely inspired vision shared by members of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Center, under the direction of Fr. Michael Barry. Challenged by the example and teachings of Jesus, we began to reach out and serve the poor in our local communities, working in local parks with supplies of food and money to cover utility bills. From these early outreach efforts, we opened up a soup kitchen at Our Lady of Fatima Church in San Bernardino. Soon, the Lutheran Church of Our Savior added their hands and hearts; and then, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church followed with a larger kitchen and dinning facility at their location. By 1990, Mary’s Table had expanded to five days a week and was serving over 5,000 hot meals each month. It has become a haven, a place of rest, fellowship and renewal for the homeless. In 1996, Mary’s table added free medical screenings, a clothes closet, an emergency food bag program and other services.
