Ministries

God has given us a purpose; it is to be people of compassionate service. The etymology of “compassion” is from Latin, meaning “co-suffering.” It is more involved than simple empathy or sympathy, compassion commonly leads to an active desire to alleviate another’s suffering. Because Jesus became a man and suffered with us and for us, we as faithful followers are called to do the same.
We continually strive to fulfill our purpose of compassionate service in various ways. Some of our acts of compassion are directed toward our own parish members while some of our actions are directed towards people who are not a part of our parish community. Frequently our acts of service and compassion are unseen.
