OUTREACH AND SERVICES

Jesus said, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father.  Inherit the kindgom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.  For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me." - Matthew 25:34-36

Each month, volunteers from the parish serve our Parish community around us in a service projects.  We are happy to have you and your family join us.  No one is too young or too old to serve the Lord!
