Parish Social Ministry assists in serving the basic needs of the families of the parish and community who are in crisis.  Our goal is to help, organize and empower people.  Parish Social Ministry assists people with direct services in an effort to help them help themselves.  This ministry stems from the call to Social Justice.  It enlivens the belief that we celebrate within the Christian community.  Parish Social Ministry aims to empower and support parishioners as they act out the Gospel call to love and serve one another.
Direct Services

Advocacy and Referrals
We act as a voice for the people in our community when they need to work with agencies such as Catholic Charities, the Diocese of Rockville Centre, and the Department of Social Services.  We refer people to other agencies to find services we do not provide.
