The Social Justice / Social Concerns Committee is focused on putting our faith into action. We sponsor many events that extend God's loving hand through us, His Mystical Body, to people outside the parish borders, including the annual Lenten alsmgiving campaign, which has helped the Bishop Asili clinic in Uganda and Fr. Gene's parish in India; Soup Kitchen volunteer events; and more.
We are always grateful for new volunteers to help in these activities! Come out and join us—you may be surprised at how much fun you can have doing good deeds!
St. Vincent de Paul Society
The St. Vincent de Paul Society also focuses on bringing God's love to those who need it in concrete, practical ways. It's an international Catholic organization that focuses on bearing witness to the love of Christ through their daily lives and in their relationships with those in need.
