St Paul's Cathedral Outreach
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." - Matthew 25:40
Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our Outreach
ministries identify areas of need in our local community and beyond
where parishioners share their time, talents and treasure. As is so
often the case, we discover we receive more than we give. For more details or to volunteer, contact Heather Sessing below.
