This standing committee of the Parish Pastoral Council’s vision is to promote and enhance a strong STM community spirit. It’s mission is to create feelings of welcome, belonging, and parish ownership; promote the growth of social interaction ministries; form a communication network for parish social groups; and enliven the church by energizing families and individuals of every capability, age, and residence, to support and participate in the community life of STM. The commission actively works with activities and ministries under its umbrella to accomplish this mission.
