The Samaritans ministry provides assistance in a variety of ways to those in our parish and extended community who are in need, as well as providing opportunities for parishioners to help meet those needs. If you wish to receive Samaritans-specific communications, please contact Tammy at the email address above.

Our annual events include a springtime Baby Shower for mothers/caregivers and babies in need, a Back-to-School Supplies collection for students served by local agencies, a Turkey and Thanksgiving Food Drive in November and a Christmas Giving Tree collection.

Volunteers can give as little or as much time as they wish by helping with one of the collection drives or with ongoing activities throughout the year.  We invite you to join us in this very worthwhile Ministry!

“In working with the Samaritans, I feel that I receive more than I give.  It is always inspiring because not only are you helping others, but you gain so much by working with people who truly match their faith with good works.”  - Kim
