The goal of Parish Outreach is to live out our Parish mission statement that calls our community to reach out to others in love and friendship. This is accomplished by helping feed the hungry, assisting the homeless, visiting the sick, and reaching out to anyone in need. This support is given in a number of ways, such as:
-There is a food pantry that is stocked by donations of non-perishable foods from members of the Parish, as well as from religious education classes and scout troops, and various community groups. Outreach also provides supermarket gift cards and gas cards to those in need.
-Parish Outreach coordinates the assembly and distribution of food baskets for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
-At the beginning of the school year, school supplies are provided for children from Pre-K to 12 th grade.
-On the first Sunday of the Advent season, ornaments are placed on the ADVENT GIVING TREE in the lobby of the Church. Parishioners select an ornament to purchase either a gift card for an adult or a gift for a child 12 years and under.
