St. Edward's Community Outreach

There are parishioners who have formed a ministry here at St. Edward's to assist parishioners in temporary need.The Essential Elements of this group, as with its international tie, is 1) to bear witness the Christ and His Church, 2) to bring persons closer to God, and 3) by visitation, to establish personal and loving contact between members of the church and those who suffer. 

To ask further about the group, call the rectory office.

There is a parish family that organizes The Giving Tree each late November for giving suggested donations for needy persons at Christmas. Tags are made for known needs and persons, and then parishioners buy the item that the needy person has listed (on the tag) and brings the present back to church in mid-December, in time for deliver for Christmas for those in need. People of the parish can offer assistance in organizing and sending out those items. Some people provide the listed items and persons for receiving the gift at Christmas. Participants are happy to adopt a need at Christmas to fill!
