Outreach - Volunteering “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34 There are many ways to help with the Outreach Ministry! Please contact the Outreach Office for more information. Parish Outreach Volunteer Responsibilities include developing one’s spirituality, packing the food pantry, making appropriate referrals and advocating for the needy. Outreach Ministers work three hours in the morning or afternoon during office hours of 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., Monday-Friday. Training is provided through on-the-job mentoring, Catholic Charities workshops and discussion of current reading materials regarding Parish Social Ministry. Friendly Visitors Members of this ministry visit a homebound person once a week to provide companionship, share stories of faith, and listen, and is a very rewarding activity for all involved. Holiday Helpers Meals-On-Wheels Meals-On-Wheels is a program where drivers deliver hot, nutritious meals to the homebound every weekday. This program is sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven. Members of this ministry pick up hot meals at the Shoreham Nutrition Center and deliver them to members of our community who are homebound. The meals are delivered for lunch, Monday-Friday. Each volunteer usually is responsible for one day of the week. Members are also needed to work as substitutes when the regular volunteer is not available. Sponsors:
