Biography
“Rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Edmundite Southern Missions stands with poor Black children, families and elders as we feed the poor, clothe the needy, shelter the homeless and educate God’s people to break the yoke of poverty in the Deep South.”
-From our Mission Statement
Edmundite Missions has been fulfilling our calling for more than 77 years by quietly serving the poor living in the poverty-stricken communities of the Deep South. What began in 1937 as a courageous fight for victims of discrimination in Alabama’s Black Belt quickly broadened to include outreach ministries of compassion, providing for the essential daily needs of food, clothing and shelter to those stricken by extreme poverty. The Edmundite Missions serves poor and marginalized children, families, young adults and seniors of all faith traditions to meet their immediate needs while addressing the long term issues of systemic poverty in the Deep South.
As a Catholic organization, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our commitment is to provide the programs and essential services that address some of the most pressing issues affecting those living in some of the poorest counties in America. Also, we are constantly and prayerfully evolving our programs and creating new ministries to help lead those in poverty from hopelessness to self-sustainability, from education programs to apprenticeship opportunities. We carry out our commitment to the people of this region guided by our motto, taken from our founder Father Frank Casey, SSE “do the best we can, with what little we have, to serve those most in need.”
