Social Ministries


The Catholic framework of charity, service and caring is the basis for a range of social and care ministries at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral, providing help to those in need, hope to those in despair and the light of Christ to everyone we serve.  If you are interested in obtaining more information, becoming involved, or volunteering in one or more of these ministries, please contact the Parish Office.

 

Bethlehem Project

The Bethlehem Project provides assistance to those in our community who are in need of housing or emergency lodging.  In cooperation with Catholic Charities, which provides interview and referral services, the project helps people in a housing crisis to retain or obtain permanent housing.  These fundraisers need volunteers to raise monies to assist those who need and qualify for assistance.

Women and men who join together to offer service to those who are needy and suffering.  The Blessed Sacrament Cathedral Conference of St. Vincent de Paul focuses on service projects throughout the year.
