Social Justice
Throughout its history, St. Mary’s has advocated for social justice, such as establishing its food pantry 60 years ago. Social justice ministries at St. Mary’s include Christian Social Concerns, COPA, I-HELP, Creation Care, and Our Little Roses. We also encourage participation in national and diocesan events and advocacy. Read below for specific events and actions you can take to follow the commandment to love our neighbor.
