At St. David the King, we are called to actively live out our faith through the Corporal Works of Mercy, which are essential to our discipleship. As Jesus teaches us in Matthew 25:40, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” By serving those in need, we encounter Christ in the face of others, fulfilling His command to love and serve.
With the generous support of our parishioners, the Social Concerns Committee is able to assist those in need within our community, embodying the guiding principles of Faith, Hope, and Charity. This ministry not only aids those who are struggling, but also allows our parish family to live out these values in meaningful, tangible ways.
We are deeply grateful for the time, talent, and resources that St. David the King parishioners contribute. Your commitment enables us to serve with compassion, bringing Christ’s love to those who need it most.
