What a beautiful Advent and Christmas our Parish celebrated. It always takes many hearts, minds and hands, we thank you. Every effort has been made to name you all: from the smallest to the tallest.

Ushers who welcomed all of us as we arrive and our out of town guests, Nothing says welcome and come inside as a personal touch from you.
Eucharistic Ministers who just keep the flow and distribution of Eucharist seamless. It just makes the Mass wonderful and helps keep the focus on Eucharist not where to go/do. Thank you.
Altar Servers make all masses special. Serving at Mass keeping long stand traditions, Your presence is ever so special. Well done!
Environment is another special way of showing our waiting and preparedness, It is also bringing the celebration to each corner of the church and is huge in setting the mood.

If you have not done so already, this is a great time to check in on your candidate...Read more
Parent Connect - September 29th

We also challenged them to make an important distinction; we challenged them to ask if they just believed there was a God or they believed in God. Belief in God requires trust and...Read more
