They provide family activities to promote a sense of fellowship in the parish, and provide service and aid to those in need throughout our parish and the Baton Rouge community.

STM MEN'S CLUB:
A social/service organization chartered for adult male members. It is committed to enriching the lives of its members by providing them the opportunity to fully experience the STM tradition of faith and fellowship. As a member of this organization, you will have the opportunity to meet fellow parishioners, make new friends, socialize with old friends and provide valuable services to our parish and school. The Men's Club will occasionally tackle projects around the church and school while remaining committed to celebrating all of its accomplishments.
WELCOME MINISTRY:
The vision of this ministry is simple: Newcomers are to feel invited, included and important. A bridge is formed welcoming the newcomer to experience their church family to the fullest. During personal visits either in the home of the new parishioner or at the parish office, the welcome minister presents a packet of information including a family census form, ministry and adminstrative contacts, as well as upcoming events.
