Human Concerns Commission
This commission discerns and responds to the needs of persons in the parish, the wider community and the world by identifying resources to meet their needs and enlisting the active cooperation of parishioners. The members collaborate with the pastor, staff, and other organizations and agencies in service, advocacy, justice education, and empowerment of people. The commission may have committees, such as pro-life, meal programs, and food pantry.

- Strengthening the bond with our sister parish, Congregation of the Great Spirit
- Respect for life efforts
