CareerQuest
Who We Are & What We Do
CareerQuest is dedicated to supporting individuals facing unemployment, those at risk, and the underemployed. Our mission is to empower participants by helping them better understand their strengths, the job market, and the skills needed to secure meaningful employment. Through our supportive community, we provide a space where people in career transition can share information, build valuable connections, and gain insights using our proven 10-Step Process. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
Why We Exist
Unemployment and underemployment can create significant hardships for individuals, families, and communities. In 1986, a group of parishioners recognized this need and began hosting meetings to provide encouragement and support. What started as a small gathering has grown into CareerQuest—a ministry committed to helping individuals regain confidence and find new opportunities.
Who We Serve
CareerQuest welcomes individuals at every stage of their professional journey. Whether someone is entering the workforce for the first time, seeking a career change, or an experienced professional searching for new opportunities, we provide guidance, resources, and encouragement to help them navigate their path forward.
