Service of Love
​Outreach

Picture

Why do we call our philanthropic charitable ministry a service of love? Read the teaching of our Metropolitan Saba on Ministering in Love.


​Who to Contact:
Lynne Lovetinsky, Service of Love Outreach Director 
Our Service of Love Outreach coordinates charitable assistance within the parish community and serves as our parish's external philanthropic ministry. We provide direct support while also helping people connect with other service providers to meet their material needs beyond our ability and scope according to their particular needs.


​Food Pantry

  • Interested in helping hands-on?  We're looking for volunteers to work with visitors who would like to access the food pantry during open hours. Contact Lynne Lovetinsky if you can help.
