Outreach Ministries

“We cannot delude ourselves: by our mutual love and, in particular, by our concern for those in need we will be recognized as true followers of Christ. This will be the criterion by which the authenticity of our Eucharistic celebrations is judged” - Pope John Paul II

Outreach is not an option for us; it is a foundation of our faith. We must reach out in love and compassion to others, and be a voice in the community against poverty, violence and injustice.
