In response to Jesus' command to love one another, our parish fosters many ministries related to outreach and social justice. Here are some of them:

Annie's Way 

This Thanksgiving event provides meals to needy families and individuals who do not have plans with their families. In recent years, approximately 1,000 people have been served, including deliveries to the homebound. Annie's Way is a collaborative effort that brings many faith communities together in order to serve others the way Christ served all.  

Bereavement

At the time of a loved one's death, we rely on our faith, family, and friends to help us through the grieving process. There are several types of bereavement groups that can help at the time of loss. Our assistance is to ensure a pastoral match for the needs of each person and family.
 

Christ Child Society

Nationwide, all Christ Child chapters have a common service project of providing layettes to mothers of newborns in need.  In addition, each chapter responds to the unique needs within its own community.  Capital Area members provide bereavement gowns, hygiene packets for disadvantaged elementary students and for homeless middle school and high school students, and caps & gloves to elementary school students in need. We are always looking for new members! Please visit our website at the following link for more information.
 

Homebound

Members of this ministry bring Holy Communion to those who are homebound. To perform this ministry, men and women must be confirmed Catholics who have completed the Eucharistic Minister training and have been commissioned.
 

Hospital Visits

Men and women of this ministry dedicate themselves to the needs of persons who request prayer and/or visitation for themselves or family members in the hospital.
 

Just Because

Just Because is a Christmas project that provides gifts and Christmas dinners for needy families. This project depends entirely on the generosity of volunteers for donations of time, talent, gifts, and food.
