TEAM HELP

“Whatever you did for the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.” 
Matt 25:40

Team Help is a ministry within St. Edward parish that identifies opportunities for parishioners who would like to become more involved in outreach and volunteer activities. Participation in Team Help is open to all adults and children within our parish. This ministry was founded in December 2002 and has provided many volunteer opportunities since its inception. The organization consists of a five member planning committee and several special interest groups.
 
 

The mission of Team Help is to respond to people in need with a sense of charity and social justice.  We primarily serve Medfield, the surrounding communities, and the city of Boston.
 The goal of Team Help is to provide volunteer opportunities for parishioners of all ages so that we can strengthen our parish community while responding with compassion to people in need.
