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.
