Our teens and adults of the parish prepare a sandwich lunch for the Bridges Homeless Outreach of Summit. The crew, guided by the Outreach, hand out sandwiches, soup, lemonade, and toiletry kits at the 34th Street Heliport on the East River in NYC.

Our team participates several times a year in the Bridges Homeless Outreach. Support in buying groceries, making and delivering lunches is beneficial to those serving and those receiving.

Bridges Outreach Schedule:
09/17/21 at 3:00 PM

Every year our teens and chaperones travel to Kentucky to build/repair homes for the working poor. The trip allows the group to foster relationships and grow spiritually in our mission to care for others and develop a feeling of community within our parish. 
Fundraisers are held during the year to help cover the cost of travel and food for the participants.

Dates of next Appalachia Trip:
Sunday, June 18 through Saturday, June 24 2023
