Social Ministry Committee

Our ministry is committed to providing service to others in need, while working to change the social conditions that create such needs. We are called both to direct service, like providing food, clothing and shelter, and to address the root causes of social problems, which would include works of justice, like advocating to change an unjust law or social structure.

The U.S. Bishops, in the 1993 statement, Communities of Salt and Light: Reflections on the Social Ministry of the Parish, have said:

"The central message is simple: our faith is profoundly social. We cannot be truly Catholic unless we hear and heed the Church's call to serve those in need and work for justice and peace... Effective social ministry helps the parish not only do more, but be more---more of a reflection of the Gospel, more of a worshipping and evangelizing people, more of a faithful community. It is an essential part of parish life."

We welcome you to join us in this mission!
