These groups are independent of the Parish. They generally operate under rules and leadership that is separate from our Parish or from the Church itself.
However, they are affiliated with our Parish in that they nourish and support one or more of our Parish objectives, and are not in opposition to our Christian beliefs. They may be sources of direct support for parishioners. Or, they may look to communities like our Parish for support for achieving their goals within the larger community, which we serve as well.
