Jesus came to give life. He taught His disciples to give life. We are called to give life to others. Therefore, in His name we prayerfully administer and coordinate programs that compassionately address the social, spiritual, emotional, physical, and temporal needs of our sisters and brothers both within and outside of our Parish Community. The Outreach Core Community (OCC) will provide educational programs and resources that are responsive to pastoral and social needs.
