BECAUSE HE ASKS US
And the King will say to them...
whatever you did for the least of My brothers, you did for me. 

​Doing for the least of our brothers and sisters is the core of the commitment of the Charity and Justice Team at St. Mary Magdalen.  We are involved in projects that present our friends and families opportunities to participate in organized activities that bring resources and hope to those who most need our help. We also focus on bringing about a more just society by striving to change the policies and structures that prevent people from living dignified lives and reach their God-given potential. We put a human face on the teachings of our church so that our parish family not only listens to God’s word but can find the means to truly live it.

Our Charity and Justice Team works with other organizations and congregations so that we can extend and maximize our combined efforts. We are actively involved in outreach programs that provide information, mentoring and leadership throughout our local communities. By joining us you will help to meet our goal of broadening our participation and provide support to the many who rely on our help.

The Charity and Justice Ministry Team plans and coordinates our parish's effort to reach out to those in need by providing assistance. Over the year they bring food to the needy, collect gifts at holiday time and collect clothes for those in need. They also are charged with the task of working to help the needy help themselves. This Ministry Team has about 10 meetings a year (on the second Tuesday of the month). Members who volunteer for this ministry make a commitment for one year.​

CHARITY
Involves providing immediate help (the Corporal Works of Mercy) to those in need

JUSTICE

Promotes structural change to address the causes underlying need and is based on the Principles of Catholic Social Teaching.

• Human Dignity
• Community and the Common Good
• Rights and Responsibilities 
• Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
• Dignity of Work/Rights of Workers
• Stewardship of Creation
• Global Solidarity
• Promotion of Peace

Our ministry informs through handouts found at the C&J table in our church’s gathering area, information on the Parish website and social media. We seek to provide a clear message of deeper understanding of these Church teachings so individuals can advocate for change in their daily lives. When a teaching so motivates individuals, we help organize events for group participation. These “calls for action” should be brought to our C&J monthly meetings for discussion and advocacy.

This ministry team is responsible for planning and hosting social events and parties in our parish.

This team is committed to enhancing the social and communal life of the parish through an assortment of social and fun gatherings throughout the year.  Some activities are for adults and some include the whole parish family.  These include: FunFest, Wine tasting, Halloween Party, Euchre, Oktoberfest, Easter Egg Scramble, Breakfast with Santa and more!

We are looking for people who enjoy having a good time and like to create an atmosphere of fun for others.  While we plan events, we also enlist people to help set-up, execute and clean-up too.  This team meets monthly. Those who join this ministry are asked to make a one year commitment.
