Christian Service Ministry

"Parishes are called to reach out to the hurting, the poor and the vulnerable in our midst in concrete acts of charity.  Just as the gospel tells us our lives will be judged by our response to the 'least of them' so too our parishes should be measured by our help for the hungry, the homeless, the troubled, and the alienated in our own community and beyond"
(U.S. Catholic Bishops, Communities of Salt and Light)

The scriptual call to love our brothers and sisters is clear.  Scripture messages represent not just a mandate to perform certain acts, but a prescription for living a Christian life.  They challenge each of us, individually and as a community, to alter our lives so that they are truly marked by Christ's spirit of love and compassion.

The outreach ministries strengthen our parish and put faith into action.  These ministries put names and faces on issues; they strengthen our prayer, touch our families, and give direction and urgency to our efforts to work for greater justice.
