| Outreach Programs |
|
The Outreach Committee strives to bring the love of Christ tangibly to others by providing opportunities to participate actively in outreach ventures both locally and beyond. Outreach supports programs, missions, and organizations through financial support, parish-wide appeals, and especially in hands-on ministry. The high level of personal involvement by parishioners in these efforts has long been a strength of our outreach programs.
In addition to grants to organizations like St. Luke's Lifeworks, The Bishop's Fund for Children, and Community Centers, Inc., ongoing outreach efforts include:

Camp Coast Care

The parish has also made a substantial financial commitment to support a clergyperson there for at least a year.
