The Parish Social Commission
Welcome to the Parish Social Commission! Our mission is to bring our parish community together through a variety of social events, both annual and impromptu. Whether it’s a time-honored tradition or a spontaneous gathering, we strive to foster fellowship, joy, and a sense of belonging among all members of our parish family.
What We Do: The Parish Social Commission organizes and oversees numerous events throughout the year to strengthen our community ties. From seasonal celebrations to casual get-togethers, we create opportunities for parishioners of all ages to connect, share, and grow in faith together.
Some of our key events include:
-
Annual Gatherings – Holiday celebrations, parish picnics, and fundraising galas.
-
Impromptu Events – Special receptions, post-service refreshments, and social meet-ups.
-
Fellowship Activities – Game nights, potluck dinners, and community service outreach.
The Hospitality Committee, a vital part of the Social Commission, ensures that all events are welcoming and well-organized. This dedicated group coordinates special gatherings such as:
-
Baby Showers – Celebrating the joy of new life within our parish family.
-
Parish Picnics – Encouraging fellowship in a relaxed and joyful outdoor setting.
Join Us! We welcome volunteers who are passionate about bringing people together and creating memorable experiences for our parish community. Whether you’d like to help plan, set up, or simply participate, there’s a place for you in the Parish Social Commission.
