The primary functions of the Christian Service Commission are to:

1. Determine the social and justice needs of the community and communicate with the parish the action needed to resolve those needs and achieve justice.

2. Coordinate the efforts of the parish service organizations (St. Vincent de Paul, Food Pantry, etc.).

3. Conduct and organize programs for visiting the sick, homebound and lonely.

4. Increase the number of parish people involved in Christian Service.

5. Conduct an organized program for welcoming new parishioners.

Volunteers are needed to help in all of Christian Services activities. No experience is necessary, as training will be provided. Christian Service activities include:

• Card Ministry
