EVANGELIZATION
FAMILY LIFE
PARISH LIFE
There are many needs both within the parish and the larger community. Our Catholic faith demands that we do what we can to feed the hungry, shelter and clothe the homeless, visit the sick and care for God's creation.
Seek opportunities to perform these works of mercy together as a family. These acts of self-giving show our faith in action and are an essential element of discipleship.
