Outreach
-
The Resurrection Outreach committee was formalized in 2006 during the tenure of our beloved former Pastor, Monsignor Patrick Boyle. Our Mission through love of neighbor actively models our Faith in Jesus Christ to share our time, treasure, and talents with those in need of life’s basic necessities: food, clothing, education, and emergency services. The committee also raises funds to disburse to local agencies that serve the needy.The committee establishes donation criteria, evaluates program results, explores new programs for consideration, develops fund raising ideas and reports committee activity and results to the parish annually.Current Committee
Pastor: Monsignor Donald Dwyer (ex-officio)
Chair: Michael Dailey
