The St. John’s Corporal Works of Mercy Ministry is to be an ongoing annual service project administered by the Confirmation Students. This will bring the Parish and Parochial School together to promote harmony and benefit our fellow man under a common banner. This may include Individual Service Projects within the Parish, and Parochial School. The focus being, Children helping Children, where by their collective efforts would have a greater impact on those less fortunate then themselves. This Ministry will be coordinated by the Confirmation Students from September to May of each year. The oversight committee shall be chaired by the Parish Pastor, Parochial School Principal, and the Director of Religious Education. Any individuals interested in assisting with this project MUST be Virtus Trained, as we will be working directly with the Youth.
