“We have many parts in the one body, and these parts have different functions, In the same way, though we are many, we are one body in union with Christ, and we are all joined to each as different parts to one body. So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God’s message, we should do it according to the faith that we have; if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach, if it is to encourage others , we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others, should do it cheerfully.”
What are/is an Outreach Ministry?
Catholic outreach ministries are organized efforts within the Church that put faith into action by serving the needy, marginalized, and unchurched, bringing the love of Christ beyond parish walls. These ministries focus on corporal works of mercy, offering spiritual, emotional, and physical support through service and companionship.
Why join a Ministry?
We have many ministries here at Prince of Peace to help you grow in your faith, help our community, serve our Lord, and of course, become closer to your parish family!
