Outreach Ministries

                        Outreach at St. Madeleine’s

Service to the poor and advocacy on behalf of justice is a major ministry at St. Madeleine Sophie.  Catholics put their faith into action in helping to continue Christ’s mission on Earth. 

                        Getting Involved in Outreach

In addition to donating food, money, etc. many parishioners seek out a way to get more involved.  Many volunteer opportunities await new workers, either serving behind the scenes or with direct person-to-person contact.  Most who have an initial experience of helping those less fortunate say that it was richly satisfying and a most meaningful expression of their faith.

                        The St. Vincent de Paul Society

As the principal person-to-person, charitable hands and heart of our parish, the volunteers of St. Vincent de Paul reach out and respond to those in our area who are in greatest financial need.  The St. Vincent de Paul Society is a worldwide movement of parish volunteer groups.  Members respond to all who need help and are living within the boundaries of the parish, without regard to race or religious denomination.  

Funding to enable the Society to do all that it can comes from the parish collections of Thanksgiving Day, Holy Thursday and Good Friday and from other parish sources.
