Social Action
The Social Action Committee was the first established committee of the Parish and is the avenue by which our Parish has helped those in need in our community and the world.
Our mission is to coordinate programs and donations for alleviating human suffering and outreach targeting to the needy in the Parish community, the Dublin area and Greater Columbus area. We do not conduct fundraisers on our own behalf as we are fully supported by Parish funding. One-hundred percent of all money and donationswe collect are distributed to the recipients of our charitable projects.
General meetings are held every other month and Parishioners are welcomed and encouraged to attend (watch the weekly Bulletin for dates). Our goal is to provide service opportunities to Parish families and we welcome your input. We currently conduct over 20 projects per year, with volunteer commitments ranging from weekly to once/year. Specific project and contact information is located in the Parish Committee Contact Listing, in the back of the Guide to Parish Life. Volunteer opportunities are also included in the weekly Bulletin.
In addition, the Social Action Committee accepts donations of canned foods, household goods, and toiletries, at any time, in the Collection Closet, which is located in the coat room of the church. These donations are distributed monthly to local social agencies.
