Outreach Ministries

The entire congregation is called to share in the outreach of our parish. We are thankful for the many ways that our parish supports outreach ministries as a part of the general budget, our special compassion fund for those in need, and from individual gifts. We encourage all parishioners to find a ministry that reaches out beyond our parish family into God’s world.
