Social Justice and Dignity of Life Ministry

We seek to enter into relationship and solidarity with those most vulnerable in our world: the poor, the neglected, the elderly, unborn babies, anyone in need. Jesus identifies himself with those in need, with the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick and those in prison.

Evangelization and Vocations

Our ministry seeks to draw people into a relationship with God through prayer, social events, and educational encounters. We seek to help people discern their calling to the single, married, consecrated or religious vocations so they can be alive in the Spirit of Christ living the abundant life God has invited them to share
