This ministry's collective actions care for a mix of needs in the parish. They include a monthly parish food drive, visiting nursing homes, visiting local women prisoners, providing transportation to mass for the elderly or disabled, to name a few. Also through the social concerns ministry, parishioners donate grocery certificates as part of an outreach to the local needy.
At Christmas, they sponsor a giving tree, which benefits Freedom House, children of prisoners at Edna Mahan, Life Choices and other homes that Pro Life works with. They also work with the Interfaith group as the needs arises.
During the Thanksgiving Holiday, they collect foods and assemble Holiday Gift Baskets containing donate complete meals to needy parish families in our parish as well as those in St. Peter and James in Phillipsburg.
This ministry also reaches beyond the confine of community boundaries to the victims of natural disasters.
