The Ministry Team coordinates all of our parish's efforts in supporting various nonprofit ministries and charities, both locally and internationally.
Ministry Team Coordinator: Melissa A.
There is no formal "membership" in the ministry team - everyone in the parish can be involved with the ministry team! Please come to our meetings which take place once every two months at noon on Sundays.
