Mission Statement
The Saint Rocco Fraternal Society of Malden is a group of men and women who in imitation of their Patron Saint, face the challenges of helping those in need to meet the basic necessities that insure a healthy and successful life in today’s society.
Our goal is to offer financial and moral support to those who struggle to address the educational, housing and nutritional needs of daily life and are often over-looked by society.
We strive to follow the example of our Patron by assisting those who are faced with obstacles that limit their human dignity and ability to fulfill their potential as children of a loving God. In a special way we pledge to address issues that minimize the dignity of the person and the sanctity of the human body. Regardless of race, color or creed the Society pledges to stand with those who so often are the marginalized and disenfranchised in today’s world.
Funds Raised
Funds raised by the St. Rocco’s Society will be used to assist needy students in meeting financial obligations to further their education and to assist individuals and families in securing adequate food, shelter and clothing. Response to these needs will be determined by the financial resources of the Society at the times of the request and is dependent on the generosity of our donors and on God’s ever-present blessings.
