Outreach
As followers of Jesus, we understand that caring for those in need is at the heart of living a Christian life. Jesus constantly sought out those on the margins, asking them what they needed. We are called to show the same care and compassion to those in need in our community. Throughout the year, our community partners with organizations listed below. Parish Members are always welcome to attend our monthly meetings.
