The Social Justice / Social Concerns Committee is focused on putting our faith into action. We sponsor many events that extend God's loving hand through us, His Mystical Body, to people outside the parish borders, including the annual Lenten alsmgiving campaign, which has helped the Bishop Asili clinic in Uganda and Fr. Gene's parish in India; Soup Kitchen volunteer events; and more.
We are always grateful for new volunteers to help in these activities! Come out and join us—you may be surprised at how much fun you can have doing good deeds!
During October, 31 parishioners provided 186.5 hours of service to 31 persons. For more information on the type of services available, and contact information, click here.
If you’d like to make Thanksgiving special for the needy of the Greater Trenton Area, Mt Carmel Guild invites us to participate in the Thanksgiving Sharing drive. Click here for more information.
Feeding the hungry never ceases to be important. Food pantries always need staples such as peanut butter, jelly, cereal, soup, pasta, pasta sauce, and canned vegetables, but any nonperishables you can donate to Mt Carmel Guild or St Raphael’s Food Pantry are greatly appreciated. Just place them in the receptacles at the doors of our churches.
