Last week, Bishop John Noonan blessed the new Catholic Charities of Central Florida Multi-Ministry Service Center (MMSC) at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Lakeland.

“This is a wonderful day of celebration and blessing,” said Fr. Tim LaBo, pastor. “What this does is blesses and really recognizes and acknowledges a multi-service center for our community that reaches out with many services and many good things for our people. As we have gone through these past two years with the pandemic and many other things that are happening in our community, these services are greatly needed.”

The St. Joseph MMSC is located at 118 W Lemon St, Lakeland, FL 33815 and features representatives from the Family Stability Program, Senior Wellness Services, the Agape Mission Market, and in the near future, Behavioral Health Services and Immigration Legal Services.
