As part of its ongoing mission to accompany and support people working at sea, Stella Maris Taipei recently visited fishers at Zhenbin and Hepingdao Ports, bringing not only practical assistance but also a message of friendship, care, and solidarity.
During the visit, the Stella Maris team distributed a variety of essential and everyday items, including clothing, coffee, biscuits, noodles, and other food supplies. These gifts were generously donated by parishioners who wanted to support fishers and recognize the important work they carry out at sea.
Through its presence in the ports, Stella Maris Taipei seeks to build relationships with fishers and seafarers of different nationalities, cultures, and backgrounds. Its ministry goes beyond providing material assistance; it creates opportunities to listen, accompany, and respond to the human needs of people whose work is essential to communities and the global economy.
The visit to Zhenbin and Hepingdao Ports is another expression of the spirit of solidarity that guides Stella Maris Taipei. The generosity of parishioners demonstrates how local communities can play an important role in supporting those who live and work at sea.
Through these continued visits, Stella Maris Taipei remains committed to being a welcoming and supportive presence in the ports, accompanying fishers and seafarers and helping ensure that they feel respected, valued, and cared for wherever their work takes them.
