The Social Action Committee works to realize the Gospel call for life, human dignity, and care for God’s creation through direct social service and social change.  Our outreach ministries are many, including:  

• Creation Care
• Pantry Sunday
• Free Lunch Program
• Project Holiday
• Respect Life Ministry
• CRS Rice Bowl
• Justice and Peace Advocacy
• Coordination with the Catholic Worker House in Iowa City

Consult the parish bulletin or parish headlines for any current or upcoming events that you may be interested to participate in.

St Patrick's staff and SAC members have recently conducted a parish self-assessment on how well we are living out the goals of Pope Francis's  encyclical Laudato Si.   Click on the link below to see the results.
