SERVICE MINISTRIES
In the Christian life, there are what the Church has called the Works of Mercy. The Corporal Works of Mercy are those particularly concerned with the care of the human body (Latin, corpus) – that is, the physical-material needs of parishioners and/or our neighbors in need. Thus, service ministries provide food, clothing, shelter, visitation of the sick and those in prison, etc.
