Community Outreach

The mission of Saint John Vianney Community Outreach is to inspire the parish community to live out the Gospel and act in ways that make the worlds of peace, justice and mercy integral to their daily lives. ​We provide oversight and coordination for parish service projects, and establish processes, communication channels, allocate resources, and provide assistance to ministry leaders in order to work together to make a difference at Saint John Vianney and in the surrounding communities.

The SJV Parish Community Outreach offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of the SJV Parish Community Outreach’s work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. The Outreach recognizes that is must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless. At our parish, SJV Parish Community Outreach volunteers conduct home visits, maintain a food pantry, and fundraising drives.

If you need assistance with food, please contact the Parish Office at 402-895-0808

Altar and Sacristy Care

Choose from many important functions that emphasize your devotion to our Lord, from cleaning and pressing the altar linens, used for Divine services…to cleaning and filling the Holy Water Font used to remind us of our baptismal vows. You may wish to clean the robes used by the altar servers, or clean candle holders and replace candles.

This ministry is a service for friends and family of the deceased. By participating, you are helping fellow parishioners during a time of need. Volunteers either make salads or desserts, or help set up the social hall, serve the meal and clean as needed.

Religious Education

Sharing your faith with others is a reward that cannot be measured.  The only requirement of volunteering to be a teacher is to be a faith-centered, practicing Catholic whose desire is to share the faith and Catholic tradition with our family’s children. Each class meets once a week, 1st through 6th grades meet for one hour and fifteen minutes, 7th-8th grades meet for one hour and a half, with Pre-K and Kindergarten classes meeting during the 9:30 Mass on Sunday.
