We prioritize Christ’s commandment to love our neighbor by serving those in need both within and outside of our parish.
Saint John’s is committed to our Lord’s calling to love our neighbors and to serve others:
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
Matthew 25: 35-36

IOCC Home-building Trips
At Saint John’s we send teams to rebuild homes and provide support to those impacted by natural disasters throughout the United States. Since 2001, IOCC’s US Programs have provided over $72 million in aid and gifts-in-kind, as well as over 65,000 volunteer hours to survivors of disasters across the country. Following severe weather events, emergency and home-rebuilding assistance has been provided throughout the United States.
IOCC Hygiene Kits
Following natural disasters, famine, war, displacement, and other calamities, families often find themselves without the most basic necessities such as soap, a clean towel and wash cloth, toothbrush, etc. Saint John’s is committed to an annual program of assembling basic "Hygiene Kits” that are then distributed to those in need here in the United States and abroad.
