Ministries & Orgs   >   Parish Social Ministry

“We need to build local communities of faith where our social teaching is central, not fringe; where social ministry is integral, not optional; where it is the work of every believer, not just the mission of a few committed people and committees.”   
(Communities of Salt & Light, p. 4)

· Prayer and Worship
· Education and Formation
· Family, Work, Citizenship
· Outreach and Charity
