At Saint Joseph the Worker Parish, Service and Outreach Ministries embody our call to love our neighbor and live the Gospel beyond the walls of the church. These ministries are where faith becomes action—where we respond to Christ’s command to care for the poor, comfort the afflicted, and be a light in the world. Rooted in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, service and outreach are not just good deeds; they are expressions of discipleship and justice.
These ministries include efforts such as St. Vincent de Paul, food pantry and meal programs, homebound and hospital visitation, pro-life outreach, seasonal drives for clothing and supplies, and partnerships with local organizations. Whether we are responding to physical needs or offering a compassionate presence, these ministries serve those on the margins and remind us that every person is made in the image and likeness of God.
Outreach is more than charity—it is mission. Through these ministries, we proclaim the dignity of every human life and witness to the transforming love of Christ. We do not serve from a distance but stand in solidarity with those in need. In this way, Service and Outreach is not only about what we give, but about who we become: a parish shaped by mercy, moved by justice, and sent forth to bring hope to the world.
