Social Justice/Outreach Recommendation
St. Jude’s own Mission Covenant calls on the parish community to:
Focus energy and resources to make a greater impact in social justice and outreach. We will build on our tradition of social justice and outreach, and encourage all parishioners to make service a priority. We will engage with the larger community to identify a small number of long-term, local service projects that are designed to address social issues, while respecting our existing local and global partnerships.
Through its Social Justice/Outreach meetings St. Jude’s seeks to identify programs where our few dollars make a meaningful difference. The Committee strives to support mission, increase social justice, and strengthen the greater parish community, by sponsoring parish missionaries, recruiting outreach volunteers, and directing parish funds to persons, programs and missions where we can make a telling difference.
