Mission
St. John Neumann Fast for Social Action lives and proclaims the Gospel message of Jesus in word and in action. The primary focus of the FAST is to educate and build awareness in the area of social justice for our youth and the entire community through the experience of fasting, alms-giving, and prayer. Funds raised during the FAST benefit local non-profit agencies that help those in need. The FAST’s motto is, “We as individuals and as a community can make a difference in the lives of others.”
