We Serve

Why We Serve

According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus tells us that he came to serve and not to be served. (See Mark 10:35-45). By Baptism we are sharers in the mission and in the promise of Christ. We are called, as he knew himself to be, to offer ourselves freely for the good of others. And so we serve. We don't always do it perfectly. We don't always do it consistently enough. But we hear the call and seek to respond.

Here is some of what we at Saint Anselm's do in service. If you would like to help out, or if you have an idea for another avenue of giving of ourselves, please be in touch through the Parish Office.
