The Christian Service Commission reflects on how Catholic Social Teaching might be lived out most fully in our parish and creates and promotes programs which address human needs and ways to achieve justice locally or globally. Yearly emphasis is put on a Catholic Social Teaching principle by means of the Illumination Series during Advent. The Commission focuses on the following areas:
Justice and Peace: fostering and promoting a faith-based social action agenda through the life of the parish relying on the principles of Catholic Social Teaching.
Health Advocacy: combines two objectives: (1) to seek out health needs of parish members and mobilize parish resources and (2) advocate for full inclusion of persons with disabilities in parish life. Within the Health Advocacy Committee we have three registered nurses trained as Parish Nurses. These women serve as resources and advocates for the needs of parishioners.
