Client Service members of the Outreach Ministry of St. Augustine ("Vincentians") are men and women who are inspired by their gospel values to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to individuals in need. We are young and old. Our members come in every shade of skin color. Some of us are wealthy, some are financially poor, but all of us are blessed with an awareness that our blessings (time, talent or treasure) are to be shared with our brothers and sisters in need. Energized by the awareness that service to our brother or sister in need is, in fact, an encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ, client service representatives are keenly aware that poverty, suffering and loneliness are present for millions in our communities. For that reason, we collaborate with all who seek to relieve need and address its causes. Volunteers are trained to visit potential clients and to gather information. If funds are available and the need warrants financial assistance, we are able to help in this area. We also offer valuable information as to where they may go for help, suggest alternative avenues they can try to help get themselves out of the situation and financial consultants for budgeting advice.

The Christian Family Movement is a parish and neighborhood based network of small groups of families. The parents meet regularly in one another's homes. CFM members reinforce Christian values in their families and then reach out to share these values in the community. Through the use of program books and group interaction, CFMers learn to examine their life experiences in the light of the Gospel. 

CFM cell groups consist of 6-8 families with the parents attending meetings every 2-4 weeks on a regular night. One CFM group is presently in our parish. They have been together for over twenty years. CFM is for all types of families and is an international organization that was established almost 50 years ago.
