· AIM (Action in Montgomery )
AIM is a coalition of approximately 25 churches and synagogues in Montgomery County The main objective is to help shape public policy in the County by voicing the concerns of the faith communities and holding public institutions accountable for addressing them. AIM addresses vital issues such as education, affordable housing, pedestrian safety, senior issues, and mental health. AIM is an offshoot of the IAF (Industrial Areas Foundation), an agency inspired by the late Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky.

· Gospel of Life Committed
In our society, human life is under direct attack by abortion and assisted suicide. The value of human life is threatened by the increasing use of the death penalty. The Gospel of Life Committee strives to make people aware that the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person are the foundation of all the principles of our Social Teaching. The Gospel of Life Committee meets the first Thursday of the month at 7:30PM in the Cry Room of the Church. New members are always welcome!
