Life, Peace & Justice
Life, Peace & Justice Committee
Our faith impels us to defend the gift of life from conception till natural death through all its different transitions. That is why this committee works to create a greater appreciation for the lives of the unborn, the orphans, the unemployed, the poor, the elderly, the immigrants, etc. We conduct outreach ministry at every stage.

St. Vincent de Paul Society
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is an international Catholic lay organization founded in 1833. The society is under the patronage of St. Vincent de Paul and derives its inspiration from its members to help those in need, relieve suffering, and provide a Christian outreach to our neighbors. Services include visiting the poor in their homes, providing food from the church food pantry, and assisting with emergency partial payments for utilities, rent, and medical expenses. We primarily depend on the support of our fellow parishioners. Our doors are open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
