Christian Service
Our
Mission Statement
The St. Gerald Christian Service Ministry is a resource of Catholic social teaching to enable the entire parish community to put the message of Jesus Christ into action. We are committed to extending our time, talent, and treasure through ministry, which transforms the hearts of those who serve while transforming the lives of those we serve.
St. Gerald Christian Service Ministry supports the parish as a resource of Catholic Social Teaching, enabling the entire parish community to put these teachings of the Church into action by:
- Determining the needs of the community and discerning how to respond and support human dignity.
- Supporting the efforts of the parish service organizations (St. Vincent DePaul, Food Pantry, Knights of Columbus, Evangelization, etc.)
- Actualizing the social teachings of the Church by fulfilling specific administrative, educational and ministerial responsibilities.
If you are interested in participating as a volunteer with our Christian Service Ministry, please contact: 248-476-7677 ext. 204 or St. Vincent DePaul at 248-476-7677 ext. 220
