Charities

Through the dedication of Father Charles and Laurie in the creation and growth of the Mater Dei Music Ministry, more than $320,000 has been donated to worthy not-for-profit organizations. With all proceeds from album sales and ticketed events donated to charity, Mater Dei has made a tremendous difference to so many local organizations in need of funds - allowing them to continue to do their good works in the community, and offering an important source of financial support.

To date, local charities that Mater Dei has donated its proceeds to, and has helped to support through this apostolic music ministry, include:

• Little Flower Children's and Family Services of New York
• The Life Center of Long Island
• Catholic Charities
• Father Tom Hartman Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Inc.
• Tomorrow's Hope Foundation for Catholic Elementary School Education
• West Maui Domestic Violence Taskforce
• Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Center
• Padre Pios Homeless Shelter
• Immaculate Conception Seminary
• Rolling Thunder (for disabled children)
• Little Sisters of the Poor

The Mater Dei, Inc. is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping God's people through the power of prayerful Contemporary Christian music.
