This ministry stems from the Gospel call to social justice and enfleshes the beliefs that we celebrate within the Catholic Community. In this way, we compliment the liturgical and educational ministries of the church, bringing to the life the teachings of Jesus and the prophets.

St. Kilian Parish Outreach is a non-profit human service program that serves the needs of the Farmingdale Community regardless of an individual's race, religion, or ethnic origin. There is no charge for our services and all calls are kept confidential. We are staffed by trained volunteers who make a weekly commitment to the program and agree to attend on-going training and days of spiritual renewal.

We gratefully accept donations of time, talent and treasure!
