I suggest: 
i) ask the people you are trying to help what is their priority? 
ii) make sure that the response is the genuine consensual response of the
group (and not of just a few dominant personalities) ie don't just ask the
priest the people want.  

Ideally, someone from your church should visit the parish, spend some time
there, and try to find out what your group could do that could meet some of
the perceived needs of the people.
