The Social Justice Ministry is the parish steward for most donation activities that take place throughout the year, providing project leadership and coordination with Religious Education, Holy Trinity School and the community organizations that are supported.  

Many of the donation activities have existed for years in the parish; others have been developed to meet emerging needs.  On an ongoing basis the Ministry evaluates the impact of the donations on the target population to assure that the right service and materials are being provided to the right people.  Changes are made in the parish donation process and to the recipients as needed to maintain the effectiveness and to further the mission to serve the poor and marginalized.

Volunteers are always needed for planning and managing donation activities.  One can volunteer as the activities are announced in the Bulletin or for general information, contact Ron Castaldi.
