Social Outreach
Goal One – Outreach Visibility and Transparency
“Catholic Social Doctrine, in particular, our outreach to the poor, the marginalized, and the migrant, as well as our educational endeavors, help show forth the merciful and maternal face of the Church.”
— Bishop Earl K. Fernandes, 2022 Evangelization Summit
Goal: All parishes, schools, and apostolates in the diocese will complete and publish an annual report of social outreach activity by Advent 2027.
Social Outreach
Goal Two – Rural and Inner-City Reach
“Just as wind pushes against a sail and causes a boat to move upon the water, so too the Spirit of God pushes the whole Church to go forth into the world, attentive to the signs of the times and the needs of the people, jettisoning that which is obsolete.”
— Bishop Earl K. Fernandes, 2022 Evangelization Summit
