The goal of the Social Ministry Committee is to help parishioners experience the social gospel through participating in direct service and social action (advocacy).
Throughout the year the committee organizes projects which provide opportunities for parishioners to:
- Provide direct service to those in need, through such projects as the Christmas Giving Tree, Thanksgiving baskets, and collections for needy causes.
- Learn about a variety of human needs and social issues through bulletin articles and announcements.
- Participate in advocating for social justice through diocesan petition efforts and other initiatives.
- Support specific outreach efforts by suggesting recipients for monthly parish donations.
- Build relationships with people who have cultural and life experiences that are different from our own.
