In living out the social teaching of the church, our Social Concerns Ministry answers the call of our faith to respond to the needs of our local and world community
 Throughout the year, the ministry collects supplies, food and money to support these efforts. In addition, the emphasis is on social justice issues, suchas, immigration, climate change issues
and systemic racism that face our society.

Please join in our parish commitment in answering the call
of the Gospel. 

SCHOOL SUPPLIES COLLECTION

It is that time of year when students and teachers prepare for the new school year. Schools provide parents with a list of student school supplies needed to be purchased for the school year.  We are collecting for NACA (Native American Community Academy) K-12^th Grade and an elementary APS school in our area.
Sharing and Caring bags will be available at the entrance of the church starting July 24^th after 5:30 Mass. Please buy one or more of the  items on the list and place them on the grey carts located near the front doors. If you have any questions, please contact Maria Duran at our Social Concerns office 550-3992.
DATES OF COLLECTION: July 24- August 1.
 

Glenn Rosendale received an award at the Francis Catholic Worker House in the International District. Glenn has worked with the homeless and indigent members in the community in the Southeast Heights for 20 years, travels to El Paso with supplies from donors for migrants and began the Francis Catholic Worker House with other volunteers. Many members of our parish are linked with the Francis House in different capacities. Through his commitment to the poor and disenfranchised, strong prayer life and kind heart, he continues to draw others to this work.
