ChristCare is a Good Shepherd Outreach Ministry designed to give parishioners an opportunity to put Catholic Social Teaching into action as we walk alongside our neighbors who are asking for assistance and to afford the opportunity to invite those served into a discussion of their faith. The ministry provides financial assistance and other services, on a short term, one-time yearly basis, to low-income families who reside in our parish boundaries and neighboring communities.
Questions regarding the ministry including volunteer opportunities should be directed to Colleen Cargile, Outreach Associate
