Parish Outreach Ministry
Parish Outreach Ministry is identified by the actions that our faith community takes to live out the Gospel we proclaim and to grow in love with God and neighbor. It aims to foster greater outreach and advocacy efforts, to educate parishioners to serve those who are poor, vulnerable, or in need, and to provide opportunities for spiritual growth. While Parish Outreach Ministry team members can be "doers" their primary tasks would be that of leaders, organizers and planners, creating opportunities for all members of our parish to be involved in the social mission of the Church.
