CHRISTIAN SERVICE COMMISSION (35)
The Christian Service Commission develops and sponsors programs
which build parish community and reach out to the wider community
with
programs that promote justice, mercy, and compassion. The
Commission assists a different charity each month by collecting
items from
our parishioners that will be used by community organizations
to serve those in need.
Chair: Suzy Pfeifer

Sandwiches for the Homeless (42)
Volunteers are needed to prepare and wrap
individual sandwiches and drop them off at the McDonald’s
home (1203 Claytonia) the third weekend of each month. The
sandwiches are then frozen
and delivered to Operation Food Search, which distributes them
to homeless shelters in the St. Louis region.
