Social Outreach

The Social Outreach Committee attempts to identify and respond to human dignity and justice needs within our community, our region and our world. We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month. We organize efforts and events that enable all parishioners spiritual fulfillment in helping others less fortunate improve their humanity. We continue to seek new ways to maintain our parish's commitment to improve life for our sister parish in Haiti.

Some of the opportunities for service developed through our committee are:

  • Managing the clothing and furniture drop off area at the parish garage
  • Providing various opportunities to prepare and serve meals at area soup kitchens
  • Working with various agencies in the area who assist and serve the needs of others, usually those less fortunate
  • Helping our liaison to the Department of Social Services with the needs of displaced families
  • Promoting and helping to coordinate the walks against hunger and the walk for warmth
  • Coordinating the Grant Program that distributes monies to area service agencies Helping with one of the major annual events that raises monies to support Social Outreach programs
  • Committing to supply a meatloaf once a month for the soup kitchen meal

We believe that we are all connected to each other and that to have peace you must work for justice. Please consider joining our committee.
