The various ministries of the Social Responsibility Commission give witness to our parish’s response to our Lord’s call to proclaim the gospel by serving the needs of others

Bereavement Ministry
Volunteers offer personal outreach to the family of the deceased. An option of meals is offered, and prayer and personal follow-up are provided. The ministry also provides a memorial cross in church and sponsors an All Saints Day memorial Mass for the families of the deceased. 

Bishop Ott Shelter Meals
Meals are prepared by volunteers and served at the Men’s Shelter on the 1st Tuesday of each month, and at the Women and Children’s Shelter on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Crochet Ministry
Create physical gifts of prayer to others in need of comfort through crocheting. Items such as prayer shawls and blankets are available for anyone who is ill, has cancer or just needs a little love. Beginners and experts and everyone in between are welcome.  Instruction provided.

Parish Community Garden
Our Parish Community Garden is on the St. Jean Vianney Parish campus. Volunteers working the garden provide fresh produce to our Food Pantry and the needy in our community. 

Emergency Assistance
Our parish offers financial assistance and community referrals to families in need. Volunteers process in-office applications and meet with those requesting assistance. 

Food Pantry, Thanksgiving and Easter Outreach
The parish provides a food pantry that serves the needs of parishioners as well as families in the community. Food drives are held monthly to stock our shelves with non-perishable items. Assistance is provided to qualified families after application and screening. Various opportunities are available for volunteers to help in the pantry. 

Christmas Giving Tree
Our Parish provides an opportunity to provide gifts to 200+ individuals being served through various social services organizations in our city.

Habitat for Humanity House Build
St. Jean Vianney Parish participates with the Baton Rouge Catholic Coalition in the construction of a Habitat Home each spring. 

Hospital, Nursing Home & Homebound Ministers
Visitation with caring hearts is the primary focus of this ministry. Volunteers are needed to visit Oschner Hospital and area nursing home residents and parishioners who may be homebound due to illness or age. 

Parish Blood Drives
An annual blood drive, which offers blood replacement credits to all parishioners during their time of need.
