  • Justice, Advocacy and Education

    These ministries focus on educating our parishioners, our community and our lawmakers on those areas, consistent with Catholic social teaching, that must be addressed on behalf of the least and most vulnerable among us, and help us care for our God-given resources. 

    Care of God’s Creation

    • Volunteers work on parish and community projects that help preserve and care for our environment. Ministry goals include raising parishioner awareness of the moral obligation to care for the earth, and providing information to parishioners on ways to be good stewards.
