Outreach Ministries

St. Vincent dePaul - This ministry services the poor, homeless and transient. Support is provided with food, counseling, transportation, clothing and housing-related assistance as well as other programs. Our parish group is very active and helps those in need. Regularly, the members are called upon for assistance with food or housing issues with the needy among us. Any assistance would be helpful.

Knights of Columbus - Our council #12246, gathers men in service to the parish and larger community. Membership is open to men who are active in the parish. It is a social, service, and fun Catholic men's club. The year gives us many opportunities for service. We'll keep you posted through the parish bulletin for these chances to be good stewards of time and talent.

Care Committee - The Care Committee extends a sign of comfort and support for the families of our parish community who are experiencing an illness, hospitalization, or death of a loved one. Care Ministers are available to bring Communion and visit with family members who are homebound, hospitalized, or in an extended care facility. Bereavement Ministers are available to provide supportive care to families coping with the death of a family member, and to assist families with preparations for a funeral reception.

Sanctity of Life - The purpose of our ministry is to embrace, support and defend life. Included are prayer, education, awareness of political issues, and giving assistance to crisis pregnancy centers. All ages are welcome.
