The Committee on Christian Service/Social Concerns makes efforts to provide service to others.  The Committee works to change the social conditions that create needs both within our parish and in the larger community.  The mission to which Christ calls the Church clearly includes works of charity and justice.  Jesus' own mission was characterized from the beginning by what the Church has come to call social ministry--outreach and service to others.  Specific responsibilities include:
