This area of mission for Saint Patrick Church involves those ministries that require our attention so that the dignity and rights of each person is respected and protected. The Mission for Social Concerns and Outreach is a response to the Church's call to address the issues and social concerns of our times. This mission challenges our parishioners to seek ways to put our Catholic faith into action by serving the vulnerable in our local community, as well as in distant places. The following ministries and organizations seek to foster these goals and ideals. For more information about any of these organizations, please contact the parish office for guidance.
