Outreach Committee

​

Immaculate Heart of Mary Outreach Committee members design projects, programs, and events that, when brought to fruition, produce a spiritual uplifting for parishioners and members of the greater Granby community.  Whether providing enjoyable activities or coming to the aid of the needy, bonds of brother and sisterhood are strengthened.  The chances for growing the parish community are enhanced as this committee reaches out with open arms of friendship.
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the Rectory meeting room at 6:30pm and are open to all parishioners.  All are welcome.  Parishioner input is valued, whether it directs our attention to the plight of the needy or suggests new enjoyable activities.
