Service
[/lgc_column][lgc_column grid=”70″ tablet_grid=”100″ mobile_grid=”100″ last=”true”]
Our young adults regularly gather for service opportunities. In the past, we have helped clean up the shoreline, delivered Thanksgiving meals to the needy with St. Vincent de Paul, gone Christmas carolling at nursing homes, and volunteered at Vive La Casa and soup kitchens. We are always open to suggestions for service projects or places you’d like to volunteer!
