All Saints’ Compassionate Living Commission (CLC) presents you with hands-on as well as financial opportunities for service in outreach to our community and the World.  

​

“Developing intimacy with God puts us into living relationship with all creation and every created being.  It means that we become deeply and vividly aware of our mission and destiny as a creature of God who, through that relationship, is in union with all of creation and participating in the compassionate heart of God.”

- from the Centerpoint Parish Pilgrimage
