Parish and Community Outreach Activities and Opportunities

The broadest Parish Outreach and Evangelization in our neighborhood is our support of the Faith Based activities with Police District 4 and Police District 7.
Villard Ave is the boundary between these Districts, there-fore the Blessed Savior Parish area is in both Police Districts.
  • In Police District 4, the Faith Based Group is referred to as “Faith Based Organizations (FBO).
  • In Police District 7, the Faith Based Group is referred to as “Faith Based Initiative” (FBI).
These are both coalitions of various Churches and Faith Based Organizations that work together in our neighborhood communities. Several parishioners are very active in each of these groups.
