Mission Action Team: Community Engagement

The goal of the Community Engagement Mission Action Team is to inspire and mobilize our diocese to actively participate in the reconciliation, repair, and restoration of our communities. By prayerfully following Jesus into the heart of the world, we aim to embody the command to love our neighbor as ourselves, fostering a diocese where every member engages in meaningful outreach and service.

Get involved:

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you have a way you have been helped in the past. Maybe you’ve run several community events and have wisdom to share. Maybe you see a need or a connection that we should make.

Whatever it is, you can make all the difference.
