Service Opportunities

The Peace and Justice Team has a long-standing history in our parish of providing educational programs and service outreach to promote social justice. Educational efforts have included publication of Reverend Charles Ritter’s article “Catholic Teaching on Social Justice and its Implications”; hosted a Christian-Muslim dialogue, and programs that have addressed Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si, the climate crisis, human trafficking, and immigration. Service projects supported include year-round sales of Fair Trade products including coffee, assisting with the Community Meals program, aid to migrant workers, coordination of monthly food donations to the Huron Helping Hands Food Pantry, as well as annual collections of school supplies and winter coats for those served by the Pantry. Meetings are held monthly.

The parish has a dedicated group of parishioners offering intercessory prayer upon request. If you have a special intention or would like to join the network, please contact us below.
