Our Mission
The mission of the Enriching Lives Ministry is to spiritually and emotionally enrich the lives of the elderly, the disabled, the lonely, the depressed, the shut-ins, the sick, people needing more companionship and love through Jesus’ boundless love for all people by providing friendship, caring, assistance, spiritual and social fellowship, transportation to Mass, Confession and other church functions, and love to these people on a long-term basis.
Stated simply in another way, the mission is to give extended support to those in need, to give people companionship and love, to help people to be happier, laugh and enjoy life more … and primarily to help people grow closer to Jesus and to see God in Heaven.
The Enriching Lives Ministry helps connect those who would like to help people with those who need assistance.
