This commission initiates and coordinates the Parish Council's ministry of helping individual parishioners and the parish in general to grow in faith.  It is also responsible for the areas of social and justice concerns, to help the elderly, the homeless, the hungry, the forgotten, the victims of discrimination.  It gives special attention to how the community welcomes people, how it reaches out to the inactive, and how the parish provides for building community spirit.

Members include:  Diane Begle, Barb Gehlhausen, Mary Jo Holmes, Heather Laake, Linda Maxey, and Deanna Youngs
