What Can You Do?

The AOS relies on the help of those who share its concern for the well-being
of all seafarers. Here's what you can do to participate in this mission:

• Spread the word and acquaint more people with AOS and its work.
• If you have friends in a port city or if you live in a port city that has neither a Catholic Maritime Center nor any Catholic program for seafarers, discuss with your parish and other Catholics the possibility of beginning and sustaining such a ministry.
• Volunteer your services at the local seafarers' center.
• If you are a seafarer, take up the task of the AOS. The chaplain cannot do the Church's work alone.
• Ask the AOS chaplain or any priest how you may become a eucharist minister or prayer leader to enhance spiritual life aboard ship.
• Join the Apostleship of the Sea of the United States of America and become a member.
• Make a donation to your local AOS Stella Maris Maritime Center or the National Office of the Apostleship of the Sea.
