Always seek to do good to one another and to all.

II Thessalonians 5:14

The main goal of the Penfield coalition of Habitat for Humanity is to raise $35,000 annually to support construction of one house in the City of Rochester every two years. Revenue is derived from Church donations, clothing shed drop offs, pie sales at Thanksgiving and other smaller events. The opportunity exists to work under supervision at the house construction sites. The easiest way to support them is to drop off unwanted clothing in the St. Pauly's Shed in the back of our parking lot. All donations in the shed are tax-deductible. Our stewards help bag loose clothing and clear the bags away from the drop chute. Stewards sign up quarterly for one week periods.

HOPE Ministry is a parish Social Justice Ministry responding to special or emergency needs of Webster area residents, in the light of Gospel and Church teachings. The best way that we assist in this ministry is by delivering the donations of food and clothing collected at our church to the HOPE House. If you would like to contribute, you can drop off canned-goods and other non-perishables in the large wooden box in the Gathering Area (lobby).

The committee was formed to organize fundraisers to help defray the cost of the bus trip to the annual March For Life. They sponsor the bottle and can collection on the side of the Rectory, and host clothing and bake sales.

Saint Joseph’s House of Hospitality is a Rochester Catholic Worker community which provides food, clothing, shelter and spiritually-centered care to its guests. Our parish assists by cooking a meal at the shelter once every couple of months. You can visit their website at the button below:
