Fellowship and Stewardship

This ministry is tasked with providing for the needs of the parish community, beyond maintenance of the facilities. Stewardship and Fellowship are combined as a ‘single’ ministry because, together, they reflect the needs and objectives of the entire community. 

Outreach and Evangelism

This ministry is tasked with meeting the needs of the larger community in which the parish of St Alexis finds itself, with material and spiritual responses. Outreach and Evangelism are combined as a ‘single’ ministry because, together, they reflect the specific needs and goals of the greater community of Clinton, and indirectly neighboring communities.

Liturgical and Education

The ministry of “Education” responds directly to the needs of the community with regards to leaning more about our Faith and living to accomplish the Lord’s commandments to love God with all our heart and soul, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Certainly implicit with education is “worship” (the liturgical life of the church). 

Building and Grounds

This ministry is responsible for the general maintenance and upkeep of the properties of the parish including the grounds, structures and facilities of the parish. 

Communications

This committee will be responsible for any publications with regard to Parish and Community. 

Ad Hoc 

As circumstances arise, specific ad hoc ministries may be formed. These ministries will address the specific needs of the community outside the typical ‘operations’ of the parish.
