The St. Jospeh Neier Christian Service Commission reminds us and sets the example that every Christian is called to service and promotes that every parishioner should become involved in actively accepting the responsibility of their baptism.

It is the purpose of the Christian Service Commission to promote and coordinate programs that will guarantee all God’s children in the worldwide community, in the local community, and especially within the parish boundaries, justice and charity in full measure. It has the responsibility of enabling members of the parish to respond to the social justice problems of today. It also concerns itself with the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the people of the parish, giving special care to the poor, the lonely, the aged, the oppressed, and minority groups.

Our Christian Service Ministries and Groups

Overview:

Each year during Advent, we sponsor needy children in the area through Division of Family Services with our Giving Tree. Each Ornament on the Giving Tree has a gift suggestion, as well as the age and sex of the individual who will receive the gift.

Interested in helping with the Christmas Giving Tree? Please contact the Parish Office 636-583-2806. 

Each year the Ladies Sodality sponsors a Thanksgiving Food Drive to help those in need. Our food donations are collected for a local food pantry in Franklin County called Tri-Pantry. They help those in need from 3 counties, not just the Union area.

Held During Lent. We have a “baby shower” to benefit the Your Other Mother in Union.

Your Other Mother is run by an all volunteer staff, and seek to offer unconditional love 24/7 without judgement.

Your Other Mother also offers adoption services. In 2016 they teamed up with a local law firm and continued to work with private, open adoptions as an alternative to abortions. Your Other Mother is a 100% pro-life, Christian non-profit organization governed by an active Board of Directors.
